Mid-August Report

Alas, I have not yet planted anything for the fall/winter except for about 200 snap peas and the kale and celery from this spring that appear that they will not mature until the fall. I must get some carrots, lettuce and other hardy greens planted soon or I will miss another opportunity to see how much gardening I can really do in the darkest depths of winter in Buffalo, NY.

We were away for more than a week, but my daughter made sure everything was watered. I was amazed at how much things grew. Apart from a lack of fresh lettuce, the garden is supplying plenty of fresh produce for the kitchen and we are ready for another cutting of basil to make pesto.


Cherokee purple (?) tomatoes

There are only four green bean plants
per frame but they are dominating

Green beans, cucumber, kale, etc.
