Wow, has it really been that long since I’ve left a blog post here? Hi folks, I hope you all have been having wonderful adventures at home in garden. I know that I have, and it all will be missed as I tell you about putting the garden to bed.

Every garden year has an end and this year it came on November the 10th for me. Although we had a couple earlier frosts it didn’t seem to get to aerial plants such as the tomatoes and green peppers. November 10th was D-day at the Urban Ranch. Every plant was killed by the mid 20s temperature.

As you can plainly see here it’s definitely over for everything. However, there is a final harvest. Ripe and green tomatoes still hung on the dried up plants. I really can’t complain about this year’s harvest. I didn’t keep track of the bounty, but it supplied family and friends all summer long with some left for me. Next year the garden will be two beds bigger and better. My goal is to preserve some of the harvest next year. It will be marvelous. You will be able to follow along as I blog about it.
