First Frost!

I have heard that rosehips get sweeter after the first frost and possibly more nutritious. I've been watching them ripen up through these sunny Autumn days, glowing like embers in the thickets, holding the promise of all-natural Vitamin C goodness. So when my husband pointed out the frost on the grass this morning, my first thought was, "Time to pick rosehips!" I had already staked these out en route to town and did a quick pick on my way home. Thank you, Nature!
