Weather Notes:

1st frost: Nov. 1

November has been garden clean-up month. Almost every day I work a bit on pulling frost-killed summer plants and covering each bed with a thick mulch of fallen leaves. This keeps winter weeds down for easier spring planting.

Other winter projects will include bed border replacement where needed and aisle clean-up. Wire grass and other weeds eventually take over, so periodically need to be cleared out and new wood chips applied. My garden is protected from cold winter winds, so on sunny days it’s a pleasant place to work.

Of the two beds of cool weather veggies I planted, only one has done well.

kale, daikons, carrots, turnips, and garlic

I think it was the timing of planting and rainfall. It’s been a dry autumn. Even so, fresh greens and roots are a welcome addition to our diet.

Harvesting:

greens: kale, daikon, turnip, dandelion
roots: turnip and daikon
cherry tomatoes (greenhouse, see below)
and . . .

surprise watermelon

It was hidden under a pile of dead cherry tomato vines! They seemed to have protected it from frost, even though the watermelon vine is long since dead.

I mentioned harvesting cherry tomatoes from the greenhouse. I have one cherry tomato vine in a pot . . .

This cherry tomato plant is a volunteer that showed up in a pot. It’s a good test plant.

. . . as well as a few other things . . .

As tempting as it is to fill the greenhouse with plants, I’m trying to keep it to a minimum as we’ll be working on the interior soon.

These are two green pepper plants I dug up from the garden and potted.

Everything in it is doing well. so far, but the real test will be January and February, which are typically our coldest months. Even though it’s still a work in progress, the greenhouse holds promise as a winter garden.

Progress on the exterior continues slowly . . .

I reckon this will be my new winter garden.

Dan finished the siding below the windows with cement board in a barn board pattern. What there is of it. Then I painted it. Currently, he’s recaulking the old windows, and then we can finish up with their coats of paint.

I showed you the cherry tomatoes, and we still have a few slicing tomatoes that I picked green before the frost.

These are truly survivor tomatoes. They made it despite common tomato disease and a long dry spell. Looks like we’ll enjoy fresh garden tomatoes on into December.

I thought this was going to be a short post, but it turned out a bit longer. Does anyone else have gardening news to share?
