Harvest Extravaganza in New York!

Fantastic Harvest!

I harvested a bunch of tomatoes and habanero peppers this past week! Even though it is October, this is the most I have harvested all season. The heirloom tomatoes are spotless with no cracks, which I am happy about. The habanero peppers are also looking healthy, and should be great in salsas. So blessed!

Grow Fall Vegetables in your Garden!

Fall is getting closer, but that does not mean gardening season is over. Believe it or not, there are many vegetables and herbs that can be grown in the fall and thrive in cooler climate. Dark green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, lettuce, spinach, and collards to name a few. Root vegetables such as beets, radishes, and turnips are also popular crops to grow in the fall. Some vegetables, such as collards, actually taste better and are more nutritious after the first frost.

Fall gardening can be a great nature lesson for schoolchildren, and make for great salads, soups, and other meals during the holiday season. Some fall plants can even be grown in containers, which saves you space and time. Now is the time to consider fall gardening. I hope you try it!
