Winterizing...

The pool is officially closed. I could't believe how easy it was to cover! I wish we had done this every year. It used to take us a month or two to clear the pool of leaves.

With winter gardening on my mind, I'm still dealing with my earlier crops. This tomato plant has been producing for more than 6 months.
The Canna's are still blooming...

Flowers in the greenhouse...

Cucumbers, greenbeans, and hot peppers are still growing...

Cleome has been blooming and blooming...

More Zinnia's...

I'm probably getting a late start on my winter garden. Anyone else planted THEIR'S yet?

  1. Congrats on covering your pool.. its really easy to day and a lot less work then fishing leaves out of it.
    I have tons of turnips and lettuce growing but I'm tired of watering plants and about to just give up and let them fend for themselves.

  2. My lettuce had all gone to seeds, so I yanked them out of the pots today. The Malabar spinach is growing like a beanstalk, but I'm not sure if I want to transplant it (it's in a small pot)... Like you, I'm tired of watering, but I hate to let my vegetables die off if they're still producing.
