Frost has killed my garden

[jinman]

Well Jack Frost has finally had his way with my tomatoes. We have had fresh tomatoes on the vines until last week. Now, my wife has picked the last 15 pounds of semi-ripe tomatoes and they are ripening indoors. I have cherry tomatoes from my garden on every salad and even slicing tomatoes, though they have been pretty small. Kathy put up 8 pints of tomato sauce last week. I feel really lucky to have tomatoes and butternut squash fresh from our garden this late in the year. Does anyone else still have a garden?

My tomatoes froze out a long time ago but still have some of the heartier greens and broccoli in my hoop house. Everything was froze for the last week hard but we have a few warm days coming so it will be interesting to see if things come back like they did last time. The dark water tank really seems to make a difference in the hoop house, gonna put 3 of them in next year and see how it does.

I have tomatoes ripening in the house, butternut squash curing in the garage and a freezer full of corn :thumbsup: Garden has pretty much been put to bed for a while, just need to till in a few raised beds if I get the chance.

Got mostly greens and some carrots and turnips and peas in the hoop house. The rest of the garden has been dead for a month or so.

Jim our last 'maters got too chilled 10 days ago. End of another season. We do have lettuce going and we put in garlic in Oct. which will winter over here.

Turnips and kale coming up great, for me. I have no idea what I did right.

The best thing for me when planting greens,,is first till of course,than sow your seed,than I run over it with tractor[industrial tires],seems to work better than just sowing on tilled ground.
