I don't remember the type I had. Squirrels liked them so much they dig up the transplants for the seed. After that I let the kid pick a store bought one out for carving and bought a Mrs Smith's for dinner.
Some idiot released squirrels from town out here last year. I ate the problem and they gave up on their relocation efforts. They whined on Facebook about why the squirrels they were feeding were disappearing. Someone said it was natural predators and right after that one got hit on the road. No more squirrels here now.

Well... humans are their natural predators... and fed squirrels are probably fat and tasty! :lol:

I had harvested maybe 5 nice cucumbers, and 6 or so little tomatoes.

And now since it is so cold... I harvested everything else from the greenhouse.

And THIS IS IT FOR THIS YEAR!! :ep

More than I got from my "couldn't get it in" garden experience for this yr. That phrase "next year" cometh to mind. 😁 maybe I needed a greenhouse 🤔. I'm bummed over nothing here but looking forward to a better 2022 for everyone.

Sunny out this morning. I love that. Temp says 64. Crisp. But just fine. Expecting maybe 75 tops. Having my morning cuppa and thinking about what I need to do this weekend.....need a plan ;)

Just don't waste your money on a harbor freight greenhouse, dimension directions are off, sun rots the panels, etc,etc,

It was 53 at 5am. Sun's out now in the 60's ,maybe we'll get an actual fall???

I need to get the weed cloth that I never planted anything through, all picked up and thrown away. Then I need to let the sheep in the garden and let them go to town on those bodacious weeds!

This was not a good garden year. Going to take up my tomato trellis and run the disc around the garden and keep it clean all winter.
