With talk of that dreaded white stuff in our weekend forecast, I am looking back at my 2011 bountiful garden harvest. I had quite the time this year between weather and weeds. My first garden was wiped out almost completely by the wind and cold, so I replanted with whatever on sale plants I could get my hands on. I had tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, squash, onions and pumpkins. I wanted to do salsa this year, but my tomatoes didn't turn early enough. I LOVE the mini pumpkins, they will be on my yearly list now, but will plant them along the fence so they don't take over my whole garden again. The lessons I learn each year.
I just love gardening and learning new things with everyone I plant. I am on the hunt for an end of season sale on a greenhouse for next year. Until next year, I will be enjoying my garden tomatoes throughout the winter in my chili. Yummmm........or maybe homemade tomato soup.......or maybe spaghetti sauce....or maybe.....
Enjoy the rest of your fall and keep doing your "stay away snow" dance please.

We love the mini pumpkins too & go with both yellow & white. :) Make for a lot of fun and busy time for 2 boys! :D (They'll so great on your fence or any trellis.) Almost all of my green tomatoes have turned now. How about you?
