| Click on Image to Enlarge A Meager But Edible Harvest |
With frost warnings approaching, I decided to harvest the last of my green tomatoes, one of few remaining carrots, and my Spanish onions.
It's a meager harvest, but edible none-the-less; and, one that doesn't include the strawberries, tomatoes, and potatoes harvested earlier or the sweet bell peppers that are still ripening on our front porch.
Next year, I intend to increase my harvest by planting more of what grew well in my small urban environment: Eliminating plants that failed to produce in any meaningful way or proved incompatible with our growing environment.
Winter, of course, will be the time for further research and reflection; although I already know that potatoes and tomatoes will be foundation vegetables and fruits in my Potager next year.
That said, our meager harvest doesn't feel like a disappointment: For me, at least, this summer has been a great learning experience and tremendous fun. I can't help but look forward to next year.
