Fall Harvesting
Sunday, September 10, 2006
Summer is gone. It's time to put our gardens to rest until spring next year. I grew too many tomatoes. I ended up with a lot of green tomatoes. A solution for that is putting the green tomatoes into a grocery bag, close it, and set it aside out of the way for a couple days. After two days, open the bag to see that your tomatoes are starting to change to red. Pull out the ripe ones. Keep checking the bag every day for ripe tomatoes.I planted too many carrots, also. Keep them in the ground longer (until frost sets in) and cover with 2 inches of mulch to keep ground from freezing. By doing so, one can pull up carrots as needed for a week or so longer.
When garden is all harvested, clean out all weeds and cover with mulch for next spring.
