Greens into November

IMG_7436rIMG_7433rIMG_7435rIMG_7439r

These pictures were taken in the greenhouse a few days after our first snowfall.  The tomato plants died off but we left the tomatoes on to ripen.  We were eating them up until about 1 week ago. …til the frost made them mush.  My Dad ate some tomatoes from the greenhouse from the 3rd week of October.  He said “those were the best tomatoes I ‘ve ever eaten in my life” ….and he is no Spring chicken. 

Thankful for the power of solar heat and Maine Man, my garden hero!

Wow, you have a lovely full greenhouse! Did you plant you food in there, or did your husband build the hoops over it?

LHMBIY - The hoops have been up for a couple years now. MM has raised beds in there.

Your right Kelly

GP, we didn't plant Kale this year and I missed it. Just ate some tasty Kale chips the other day that a friend made.

LMM, not quite winter yet but it is late in the season.
