Love Fall Gardening


I love fall gardening! We had salad from the garden for dinner this evening.

Nice variety of lettuce

 
mixed with arugula and
 
 
a few lingering Sun Sugar tomatoes from my dad's plant.
 
 
Topped off with goat cheese and a lime infused olive oil balsalmic vinegar dressing.
 
 
 

Additional lettuce and arugula are up in the raised beds as well as beets and spinach. They will be covered with a fabric tunnel when the temperature drops. More spinach is up in the cold frame. I also planted carrots in the cold frame, but it may have been too late so there is a good chance they will not grow.
 
I am inspired with Eliot Coleman of Four Season Farm and author of  Four-Season Harvest book. He gardens in Maine and has fresh greens all winter. And that is without supplementary heat!
