Dina Deleasa Instagram – Are you starting to close out your garden? Picking the last of the tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini. Perhaps collecting herbs or the last of your eggplant? It is definitely bittersweet.
I am not a skilled gardener by any means. But I do enjoy trying to do better every year. It has led to a growing garden space. With new ways to use the food. Such as drying out my peppers and making red pepper flake seasoning. Lots of zucchini chips for Siena, and I love sauteing it, throwing it in pasta sauce. Cooking down cherry tomatoes and making them into a delicious jam that I spread on sandwiches.
I like to write down each year what worked well, and what didn’t. What really flourished in the garden and what kinda fizzled out. I know that it depends upon how the weather was that year as well, so I make sure to give a general weather report. Also, making any notes if I noticed any disease, pest, or animal issues. I also save the layout of the garden. Sometimes I will notice that we needed more space for a specific plant or one grew better because it was paired with a better companion plant.
I know we still have two months left with farmers markets and the last of the garden. What do you miss the most when the season ends?
