The Season for Vegetables Has Ended

This weekend, I finally had to accept that winter is on its way and that my urban garden would soon be gone.  Both my tomotoes and peppers were still growing, but if they froze, all of my hard work over the summer would have been for nothing.  So, I swallowed the fear of chopping up my plants that I worked so hard to grow and did it.  Here's what I have left of summer:

I'm so happy that my peppers are actually turning yellow.  They were green all summer (I purposely picked yellow because they are sweeter), and I was at the point of thinking someone had swtiched the tags on the plants at Home Depot. I also have a ton of green tomatoes, that are slowly but surely turning red.  It will be nice to have a little flavor of summer left for the coming weeks.

Urban Gardening

Thought I would share what I feel is my slightly impressive urban garden. First picture is a strawberry plant which already gave its fruit, so now it's just a pretty green plant. Second photo is of a pepper plant...which is supposed to be a yellow pepper plant, but they are coming in green. Hmmm. Lastly, my most impressive of gardening endeavors, is my tomoato plant. There are about ten tomatoes growing, and as you can see, one that's just about ripe!
