I also harvested the last of the green beans and 3 cucumbers from the sad remains of the veggie garden. Next year the veggies get planted a *lot* earlier, no matter whether I think there is still danger of frost! I'm also going to try to thin out the woodland that lies to the south of the veggie garden and shades it for much of the growing season.
Oh my, the temperature sure dropped in a hurry. Yesterday I had to rush to close up the greenhouse ends and place the min-max thermometers so I can monitor the greenhouse temperatures. This afternoon, after Jordan's soccer game in Tullahoma, I spent a couple hours transporting the cold-sensitive plants to their winter quarters in the house. I'm so thankful for the rack I was blessed with. Now I have 9 plants hanging in my living room and about as many in the dining room, as well as several large Schefflera. Those are the only 2 large windows that get sunshine for most of the day during winter.

AuthorI'm finally putting my college training of (several) years ago to work! I wanted a combined degree in horticulture and journalism so I could write about the plants I grew, and here I am! Archives
