Fall Is Coming
Another month has passed. I'm a bit bummed out. Our amazing summer weather is completely gone, and what we're experiencing now feels like fall. I really would have enjoyed 2 or 3 more weeks of hot temperatures and sunshine.
But I guess it is what it is.
It's obvious the gardening season is coming to its end, and just like every year, that makes me a bit sad.
The spider mites infestation in the greenhouse has really thinned things out there. Fortunately, my tomato plants are still doing good. I really need to come up with more creative ideas to use ripe tomatoes, because the plants are producing more than we can eat.
Anyway... It's that time of the month again...
Welcome to the Hive Community Garden Journal Challenge, which encourages you to share your monthly (indoor) garden/balcony updates with your the community and create your own garden journal.

Don't forget to let us know if you are dealing with things like fungus, caterpillars, aphids, and - even more important - hów you’re dealing with those.
In short, tell us the story of your garden.

I've got my pictures... just need to do the write-up later - hopefully today. :-)
Get going on it! LOL
Already did it - where are you? lol
I actually decided to break it into two parts due to how long it ended up being (23 pictures in all.) Not counting the mid-August one... so the final part will be posted today.
Coolness!
I still have to do this...I know I keep promising...and it's spring here...lol
No more excuses, then ;0P
Best garden
I freeze my excess ripe tomatoes so I have a constant supply of tomatoes for cooking in winter. I drop them in the freezer as-is.
I'm in the mood for spring and my entry is here: https://hive.blog/hive-183841/@nikv/some-peanuts-and-getting-the-garden-ready-for-spring

I know what you mean about the fall like weather, we're getting that here also.
As for the tomatoes, you could make sauce, or salsa with them.
Thanks for joining!

tokens.This all looks cool idea 👀😋😋👌👌👌
Thanks, @foxkoit. Feel free to join 😉
I try soon :))
Might have to bow out this month for the first time in a long while! We've been pulling down the last of our summer stuff and prepping to try to get some items going for the fall, so pretty barren over here besides a few squash plants and the turmeric that is sprouting up waiting to be harvested in another month or so. Nothing too exciting, but perhaps we'll get some good stuff going for next month. I'll happily see what everyone else has going on, though. :)
yeah, there isn't too much going on here at the moment either. Tomato plants, and a couple of squash plants and that's it.
Have just written my first entry to this competition, hope you find it interesting!
