It is officially the end of gardening season. This past weekend I cleaned up my plot, turned in my key and canned my last batch of hot sauce from a few habaneros that managed to survive last weeks cold weather.
This year I harvested over 100 lbs of produce including:
2 lbs of breakfast radishes
5 lb of hot peppers
40 lbs of tomatoes
50 lbs of cucumbers
4 lbs of lettuce and mixed greens
1/2 of green onions
3 lb of kale
lots of herbs
It was a productive growing season. I loved all the rain (and not having to water) but didn’t love the cool weather (tomatoes love hot weather).
I really wish I could grow vegetables year round but living in Chicago it is not an option. Needless to say, I’m already planning my garden for next spring.
