I shouldn’t complain after the banner year we had last year. However, it definitely makes me want to get that greenhouse that is made to go over the area where sliding doors are.
Climate control - whatever the weather, should be able to keep it pretty steady.
I have had a really good garden this year. Second crop of beans getting ready, still getting lots of tomatoes, chard, 2nd growth broccoli, spaghetti squash. Carrots yet to come. Giving up on beets they just don’t get big enough and I can get nice ones at the farmers market. Those Chinese yard long green beans are past flowering, just starting. Have not grown or had any in many years. Used to really like them prepared with Chinese noodles and a soy sauce/sesame oil sauce. My poblano peppers are late but I will have a lot. Still picking shisito and banana peppers. Really like the shishito peppers, my first year with them. I really put a lot of time in the garden this year. When I was sharing that with my vet he said there is an old Chinese saying that the best thing you can put on your garden is your shadow.
Last year was perhaps not our best year, but because we started early, we were able to sustain everything through harvest. This winter, I couldn’t find the will to sow seeds in February and March, as I had done the year before. If that makes any sense.
That is not going to happen next year. I’m going to bring in our aging jalapeno plant and some tomato plants. I’m going to start seeds in January or March.
