Sorry to be so late posting; I had an appointment that lasted way longer than I thought it would. May I just brag that I am still eating tomatoes from the fall harvest?
Looks like the final salad of the season will be Christmas dinner. Then my lettuce will be gone, and probably the tomatoes too. The lettuce in the winter garden didn't germinate too well, and the later plantings aren't ready for picking as they are still just a little beyond seedling size.
Lemons and bell peppers are still growing indoors like gangbusters. Hope all is well with my fellow gardners. Have a great weekend, and great great great Christmas. God Bless.

The last of the lettuce will be gone with dinner tonight. There are three trays and a couple buckets of tomatoes in the kitchen but they’re starting to look sad so need to finish freezing them this weekend. I’ve been putting ripe ones in the freezer every couple days and saving a few seeds. Had a tomato sandwich for lunch, yum. Need to quit procrastinating and string the hot peppers this weekend, too. Then there will be space to start new tomatoes and peppers next week.
Hope you all have a very Christmas!
Envy all of you who can keep gardening this time of year.
We had 12 inches of snow Wednesday night and then 40 degrees today (typical for the northwest)
God bless you all and Merry Christmas!!
The garden has been gone for quite a while around here and it is downright chilly and very windy today. This past weekend, we did receive a basket of homemade jelly/preserves: basil jelly, hot pepper jelly, chocolate mint jelly, apple butter and fig preserves. Oh boy! :-)
Merry Christmas everybody.
My spinach was put in in the fall. Surviving quite nicely and will be huge come April.
Will plant broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower next week.
My area of western PA got socked with snow which will stay on the ground thru Christmas. Which makes for a white Christmas but will mean a slow and inevitable demise for my kohl plants. Oh well.
Well as usual I’m late to the party.
I picked a batch of collards and dug some carrots from the garden for our Christmas Eve dinner.
You can’t get it much fresher than that.
OK, the PO box was stuffed with garden catalogs today.
Anyone know how to grow asparagus?
I’d like to try. How big do the mature plants get during the summer? What do I need in the way of garden space for them?
