Gardening After the First Freeze
Well, it dipped into the upper 20’s last night.
The snow peas still look ok, even the blossoms aren’t nipped. It’s too late in the year to spend much time covering everything up, so I’ll just hope the next couple of nights are not too harsh.
I gleaned everything Sunday afternoon and Monday.
Here are some green tomatoes and a few partly ripe ones. It’s one way to have garden tomatoes in November. Now I can get the plants taken down and chopped for the compost pile.
Leave the tomatoes on the vine stem if possible.
These three tomato plants are volunteers from the edges of the compost pile. Yes, it really needed a good turn! I figure that out of the three plants, one of them is sure to produce a tomato this winter. And if not, it’s still a nice summer memory to have them as houseguests.
Light is always my problem. I’m going to have to do something about that this year.
