Garden Notes - October 23, 2010

This is a garden note without a picture. I've been too busy with exterior house painting since the last post. I just finished with the last of what I could paint before the weather gets too ugly.

The fall crops are all looking too small to make it by snow fall. I was able to make the most of my tomatoes and what Ed donated. I canned items purchased locally; peaches, pears, and apples for apple sauce.

The carrots will produce, but probably not like last year due to planting later than before, but most likely due to being planted in the spinach bed which had been infiltrated by root hairs from the cedar tree.

I just did some yard & garden clean-up, and I have some green tomatoes left over to try something with.
