Enjoying the Harvest - Harvesting the first few fruits and
vegetables was a real joy. In short order, we went from a few Zucchini
and a couple heads of lettuce to more tomatoes, corn other
veggies than we can possibly handle. While the production and variety coming
out of your garden may now be dwindling, chances are, you are still harvesting
far more than you can use. What you need is more different and unique
recipes.
May we suggest........
Garden Recipe Tip of the Day: To avoid getting cut when chopping or
slicing vegetables, let someone else hold the vegetables........
Back to Houseplants As we edge closer to the first frost, it is time
to select the plants that you will bring indoors to grow as houseplants.
If you haven't done so before, try a few herbs. Ones like basil, chives and
oregano are good candidates to grow in your home. In addition to being
good houseplants, you can use them in the kitchen all winter long.
Composting .... Don't throw out those dead plants...... compost them.
Collect your garden waste, along the weeds and other plant matter. Turn
it into rich garden soil for next season. The best gardens are grown by gardeners
who make their own compost.
