I'm pretty sure 2008 was nowhere close to being a record garden year at the Nichols homestead. I neglected it a lot. Weeds grew better than the plants. The tomatoes withered early. Not the greatest year. But not horrible either. On friday evening I went out to pick whatever was left since I knew the freeze was coming.
I ended up with about a half bushel of green tomatoes, which will ripen a few at a time in the coming months. I've also got a small bowl of sweet peppers, a bunch of carrots, a small bowl of tomatillos, and a big bunch of basil.
I am also experimenting by bringing in a tomato plant from the patio. I potted it this spring when it volunteered in my flower garden. Then all the leaves got eaten by one of those disgusting tomato worms. and then in the last few weeks, it re-grew all of its leaves and began flowering. Interesting. So I brought it inside, we shall see if it actually grows tomatoes. In the meantime, I've got plenty of green tomatoes from the garden to keep me going :)
