We’ve had some wonderful lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, basil and cilantro. We just don’t get enough light or heat to overwinter sucessfully here in Massachusetts, so I am going to put everything to bed for the season. I will miss our gardens, but look forward to next spring. :)

I hope that some of our friends in southern states share some of their pictures and experiences with us during these cold new england months.

I hope so too. Vicarious living during the winter helps! I did see a book about 4 season gardening written by someone who lives in New England.

Looking at the contents, I believe he use a covered hotbed of compost, but so many plants need the extra hours of daylight. It looked like we would get the greenhouse this fall, but then hubby got laid up, and we decided to wait.
