Yesterday I commenced to put the garden to bed for the winter. After a frost struck a few days ago it was time. I pulled almost everything out and chucked it in the compost piles. All that remains are my Kakai seed pumpkins and the carrots.
Pumpkins
Following a hiatus of about a decade I introduced cantaloupe to this year's line-up. They happen to be a hybrid variety producing a smaller fruit that is juicy delicious. Try it on vanilla ice cream for a real treat.
Sweet peppers have been awesome too.
Hopefully the soil will dry out sufficiently before freeze-up as I'd sure like to turn it over before the snow flies. That would also afford me the opportunity to burn the remaining petrol in the rototiller. We'll see.
It's been a very good gardening year. I'm pleased with the results.
Vive le Jardin Magnifique!
