It is the 6th of November and we have our first frost predicted for tonight. We made the 300 pound mark today with 302 pounds 10 ounces. That has been the magic mark and it seemed impossible,and we have been sharing the last of the year's tomatoes with friends and family this week.
My husband is so into the fall season for the garden that we bought more broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce when we went shopping for an inexpensive green house. I found the greenhouse but I have to go back to pick it up because the box was wet. Bill did not want to put in the back of my car.
I absolutely can not believe that we made the 300 pound mark and we will be continuing our quest for the highest amount. It amazes me that when everyone's garden petered out in July and August, my garden continues to produce. Maybe it is my years of experimentation or just my unwillingness to say that the garden is done.
We covered as many plants as possible to keep the frost off of them. We used plastic drop cloths and miniature clamps to keep the cold out. The morning will tell, but I have twenty pounds or more of tomatoes still outside.
Come on winter, I am ready to fight.
