First Frost

We had our first light frost Thursday night/Friday morning Oct 28-29. All the wild gourds I previously mentioned were killed and any exposed morning glory was killed.
Speaking of morning glory, I found this one growing in a ditch and it had just started blooming when the frost came. It's actually Ipomoea purpurea or "common" morning glory, which isn't seen growing in the wild much around here. It's the more common ipomoea hederifolia that is so invasive and widespread.
