The garden is no more
Time is short and Colin got up and went straight to the garden at 8AM. I was about 40 minutes behind him. Here I am taking the tomatoes off the plants. It was very cold out and I had multiple layers on but still needed my hat because of the sun. Yes I was wearing socks in my sandals.
The red ones for us and the green ones in a much larger bag for a neighbor who is going to can them.
Our plan is to cover the ground with a tarp until we are back first from Mexico in April and then from Europe end of June. That should keep the weeds down. We will plant a few things the end of June.
Colin cleaning up the final tomatoes. We had five plants and the roots were very long. Great crop.
Adios dear garden. You did very well for us this first season. The lady one plot over was picking the last of her green peppers. Note all the weeds around our garden area, I hope they say on their side of the fence.
We certainly won’t run out of small tomatoes before we leave. The bowl on the left is ready to eat and the one on the right will be ready in 2 -3 days. Than I have a variety of others on the counter and on the window ledge to enjoy as they ripen.
These are for toasted tomato sandwiches. Hopefully they will ripen before we have to leave.
As you can see the skies have cleared and of course Colin is working. He has the next three days booked as well. I have no idea how he is going to photoshop, invoice and collect the money before we leave. Not to mention actually load the RV. I refuse to dwell on it…..

Wow that’s a great crop of tomatoes!
So nice of a day..No smoke..no rain…no wind…..34* this A.M…I’m going to have to pull in all the hoses I’ve had out to try and fight the fires we’ve had the past few months…
Enjoy your veggies…I had a steak tonight….(:>)………Oh…and a potato……

Nice to finally get your garden all cleaned up, after a great summer enjoying the fresh veggies.
I love those cherry tomatoes. We pay $4.00 for a pint of them at the market, so You were wise to grow your own. I think I will give it a try next summer. Wonder what they use the canned green ones for ?
You’re lucky to have a garden space in an rv community. Looks like you did very well this year.
