I wish there were more community based events like harvest festivals geared towards gardening. It's fun to meet other like minded gardeners.meemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-62004645366309312702011-08-29T12:50:55.092-04:002011-08-29T12:50:55.092-04:00How did the beach garden fare?

You could also plant some tomato seedlings and over-winter them inside (if you have space and a sunny window.) I have a Black Russian in a pot which I left after it had produced its modest summer crop because I admired its leaves so much and it didn't seem ready to die. I put it outside on sunny days. It proceeded to put out fresh laterals and produced a winter crop when there was snow outside. Now (almost spring in the southern hemisphere) it has fresh laterals with tiny buds and seems ready to go into a third season of fruit production. Someone told me later that tomatoes were originally perennials which I hadn't known. Those small round carrots over-winter well too and take up minimal space. (An award-wining restaurant in Scandinavia serves braised two-year old carrots. You've probably seen the story.)fernenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468269294140978819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-78997999963723616772011-08-29T11:25:48.965-04:002011-08-29T11:25:48.965-04:00snap peas, snow peas. leeks overwintering in a pot...snap peas, snow peas. leeks overwintering in a pot.<br />radishes and all those short season round things with greens on top you can eat.frank@nycgnoreply@blogger.com
