Not doing much out in the garden these days....we're slowing down and waiting for the first frost. None so far. I spent a full day cleaning out and arranging the little greenhouse. It was a mess. I've got a little sink on Amazon that I want to install in there, it just uses a hose and drains into a bucket. That should help a lot with washing pots, etc.
I'm looking for a good sale on growing lights now before I start plants for the spring garden.
I moved a few plants in there that I want to keep through the winter, including a few peppers and those volunteer tomato plants. Last year we had one that grew and produced throughout the entire winter.
On the same day I cleaned out a small flower bed on the side of the greenhouse and planted a bunch of these beauties. They will be so pretty out there all winter.
The morning glories seem to really love this cooler weather -- they are just fantastic to look at. These blues are mesmerizing!
These volunteer black cherry tomatoes in pots are continuing to produce like crazy -- I couldn't even count how many fruit on them.
The Mortgage Lifter tomato that I had just ignored (I never cut this one back) has gone crazy -- I counted 20 tomatoes on it! Not sure they will make it, but I am watering it now, just in case. This plant looks like hell - its so spindly and dry looking. Its a wonder that its still alive.
This week I'm going to plant a pot of chard like I had last year throughout the winter. Those things never quit!
