Late season update



I haven't been able to do much in the garden for the past several weeks due to construction projects, however we have continued harvesting tomatoes, basil, kale and chard. I have been reading Eliot Coleman's "Winter Harvest" and am feeling excited about trying some of his season extension ideas. I found out from a U-pick advertisement in the paper that now is the time to be picking our Gala apples. The Braeburns look like they need to ripen a little longer.

I came across an interesting site created by two innovative young brothers who are exploring low-cost container planting. I will probably incorporate some of their ideas into my gardening next year.
