How Does Your Garden Grow??????

I had my first killing frost this week. It got all the flowers and most of the tomato and pepper plants that were still hanging about. I did get a good picking of tomatoes before the frosts. We also went to the tomato fields and got ten gallons. I think they have gone up to $8 a bucket this year. Still a good deal. The wife made a couple of tomato pies this week. Yum.

Yes that frost puts a stop to everything.
Got my pelargoniums/geraniums pots wrapped in polystyrene... fingers crossed lol.
8 plants at about £10 each.... it makes sense!
I've still a dozen apples left on a tree.
Indoor gardening only now till spring.
Ive planted about 200 daffodils 200 tulips a dozen aliums, loads of snow drops, crocuses and anemone Got them in a few weeks ago.

I still need to pick the few oranges on my Chinese orange trees. I plan on planting most of the seeds in the spring. I only had one seedling make it this year.

I just got about a dozen oranges {for the seeds} from a tree down in Wewahitchka Fl. I get a little colder than they do in the swamps down there, so I may have to protect them some.

picked the last of my satsuma tree today.

been giving some to friends and eating them for about 2 weeks. gunna make jelly out of these

I'm eating a bunch of them from my cousin's tree right now. Most years my boss also brings in a big bag from her tree.

Do I hear people being sad about frost? Hello from Zone 10....

Location, location, location. The high was in the 60's today, and I was wearing a jacket.

Hovering around 45f here daytime.
Frosts at night.
Long John's - thermals and a Woollen hat weather here .... lol

I've bought a few plants and started some seeds. There was a frost on the cars this morning. Hope it didn't touch up my garden plants. {or my Spring crop, for that matter}

The two tomatoes in the bigger pots are Cherokee Purple. One of them got nipped a couple weeks ago by a frost, but looks like it is going to live. I bought a 6 pack of Heirloom Homestead and got 11 plants out of it. Also 2 jumbo Jalapeno.

I planted {six 6 packs per} trays of Pruden's Purple and Yellow Pear tomatoes, Jalapeno Early and Mini Sweet peppers, and a 48'ish tray each of Raab and Calabrese Broccoli. The broccoli is coming up, but nothing else yet. Note the cat protection.

Spring hasn't quite sprung here just yet but the crocus and daffodils have made an appearance.
The Pelargoniums/Geraniums I wrapped in polystyrene to overwinter look terrible.
Might be able to save a couple of them.
I got some Russian tomatoes seeds for a Christmas pressie, all the way from St Petersburg . Should be interesting. Pop them in a week or so hopefully.

Seeds, from Russia with Love.
