The Fall Garden


It was time to clean-up the garden. For most of the plants, the season has ended. The beans and the corn are done. All that's left is the kale, next spring's broccoli, and some spinach. As you can see in the picture above, I dug-up all of the plants.



Then we dismantled the greenhouse and harvested that last of the tomatoes. It is November after all, and we should have tomatoes ripening until the start of December. We take the greenhouse down, because we have lost a couple of greenhouses to the November winds. Scot built the greenhouse so that it comes apart fairly effortlessly. The most difficult part is getting the tomato plants out and making sure that there are no tomatoes left. Otherwise you can get all sort of pests and blight. Ideally we should move the greenhouse but it isn't that feasible.



The last of the tomatoes!
