Things have slowed way down since the temperatures took a dive at night. We've still been getting some warmer days, but it must not be warm enough for the pepper plants. Since the last update, we pulled up all the carrots, pulled out the cucumber vines, and have been thinking about how to improve our planting selection next spring. As soon as I get the basil harvested and the tomatoes stop coming, I plan to clear out the box and put the compost pile on top. The compost pile has been cooking all summer long.
Your tomatoes look yummy. I'm glad you got everything out of the ground. We had a really solid freeze here about the time you wrote the entry (almost 2 weeks ago). Most things shriveled up. Our pumpkins are still green, I wonder if they will turn orange. This time of year makes me a bit sad this time of year, because everything is winding down and I'm buying grocery store produce again.
Welcome to my happy little place to learn about the study of nature and all things beautiful. This is my personal nature journal, where I hope to record my fledgling journey as a naturalist and my appreciation for the Master Gardener's creation. I will also display some of my favorite paintings and list some of my favorite living books and quotes. I hope you will enjoy your visit.
