Edible Gardening/Putting Things By

Dear Katy,

The attached photo shows my tomato plants today. The weather here in SE
Wisconsin had been mild through early November, and I was harvesting
tomatoes up through last weekend. However, last Monday, a sudden cold
snap and 12 inches of snow hit in the early morning hours; and the
result is a destroyed garden. Looks like I waited a little too long to
collect that last batch of tomatoes!

Well, today I'll spade the ruined plants into my compost pile and bed
everything down. Then I'll begin to stare out the window and wait for
spring.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I would say you were "caught off guard". GMail suggests that I should tell you it "looks beautiful".

Southern Living has an article on keeping pepper plants through the winter. I've never tried it. Have you?

And overwintering veggies, recipes, etc.

Gardens of The Horde

Got anything going on in your garden, yard or neighborhood? Thanksgiving veggie recipes to share?

Week in Review

What has changed since last week's thread? Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, Nov. 8

Any thoughts or questions?

I closed the comments on that post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
