The Last Garden Harvest

Tonight the forecast call for temperatures to dip to 26', so today after work I picked all the peppers and most of the tomatoes and brought them inside to finish ripening. So I can continue preserving them. I pulled the plants and put them on the compost pile. It was a bittersweet moment, the end of this years garden.

Garden harvest

I harvested a lot of peppers and some tomatoes today. I wanted to bring in as much as I could because temperatures tonight are predicted to be 30'. I went out and covered my plants with sheets to keep the frost off of them and hopefully they won't be damaged and will be able to continue producing for me.
