Winter is slowly creeping in

Category: Miscellaneous | Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 7:43 pm

The nights are getting down into the 20's every night with heavy frost and the trees are dropping their leaves. The only thing blooming in my gardens are the sedum. The thing that irritates me is that the day time temperatures are in the mid 50's range and I would love to be working in the gardens...only the gardens are sleeping! We heated the greenhouse for a while to ripen the last of the tomatoes. I can't believe the amount of tomatoes the 8 plants produced. I canned a lot and donated many to the Senior Center and friends. The Seniors really enjoyed the vine ripened tomatoes and gave us a big thank you. I still have 20 to 30 in the fridge but the way we are eating them, they will be gone soon! The rest of the vegetables produced well so my freezer and pantry is well stocked. That's a good feeling!

Sounds like the tomatoes were a hit at the Senior Center. What a thoughtful thing to do.

Thank you. Being seniors ourselves, luckily still fairly active, we try to help by planting a little extra to help out.
