You are really lengthening your season! Good job!

We had a warm enough Fall to extend my greens-growing in the greenhouse, but I checked yesterday and I see that I had White Fly on both my spinach and arugula, so I composted both flats. :(

That’s the end of the season for me. We did have ripening tomatoes into November this year, so that was a WIN! :)

I do not need to winter garden. If it happens I treat it as keeping in practice, like going to the shooting range. In this case it was also an opportunity to sow some really old lettuce seed that was getting pretty old. (>5+ years)

White flies put a period on your growing year, and your greenhouse is the the first paragraph in spring on your next year garden story.

The Baker's Creek Cover...have you received it and seen the purple tomato on the cover? Wonder how it tastes? (Seed catalogues Never exaggerate their products do they?)

(Already sold out!)
