The growing season is over – frost is here. However, there is still lots going on in the garden and greenhouse. We are not giving up just yet. Plants react very differently to frost (you can read more about it here), so even though there is frost we are still growing.
The peas that I planted in this year’s first crop in early August are producing. They are not as tall as the first crop was, if one can talk about tall for this Tom Thumb dwarf growing pea, but it still has some yummy peas on it.
For the kale I will actually wait for the frost to come to make them more sweet and enjoyable.
All warm weather crops are, of course, frozen and gone except for those in the greenhouse. Here we are still keeping a bit of summer. The water tank based “heating” system has worked great so far.
Lots of tomatoes are ripening.
Peppers have been really good this year, still more to come.
Cucumbers are done.
Strawberries are still just so yummy. However, they are having some bugs attacking them, I guess the season is over soon for them too.
Not sure how long we will be able to keep this gardening oasis here without any actual heating, but we are grateful for any one more day.
Seasons are changing, God’s word is not. He is the one who rules over it all. We are thankful for another year of great harvest.
Us cold weather winter people need to stick together – good job! We shared this at homesteadlady.com FB page.
You are right, we need to stick together. Thank you for sharing it, will check it out!
GORGEOUS fruits and veggies!!! And I love how you incorporated the scripture in, as well!
Thank you Kirsten, as you know scripture is a big part of my life ;).
Love your garden and greenhouse. We don’t get frost, but our season is coming to an end as well. However, we did just pick our two best cucumbers of the season this past Sunday! 🙂

I can’t imagine not to get any frost, I think I would just grow non stop ;). Glad you get to enjoy some goodies from your garden too.
What a nice green house! We don’t get frost either, but I would love to have a little greenhouse to plant in. Looks like you’ve gotten some great produce! ~ Renee
Yes, we love our GeoDome greenhouse too. Check out the How to build a geodome greenhouse.
I love your greenhouse. I’ll have to check that out. Luckily, we’re still in the upper 60’s at night. I’m still planting, but you never know when it will be over:)
I wish we had a greenhouse! We have a long growing season, but those strawberries look so good! I miss strawberry season.
Those strawberries look luscious! Enjoy your harvest, however long it lasts!
Thank you Daisy, glad you stopped by!
This is our first fall garden and I was actually waiting for the frost to see how well everything did! (So far so good, we’ve only had light frosts though).
Love your garden! How long do you have kale for in your area?
Not to long. It can get really cold here very soon. For now it is frosty but not to bad, so we are happy!
We should see frost here in a few weeks. I hope to use row covers to extend our growing season. December and January are our coldest months. And I am praying for a green house. Yours is nice. Stop on by our homestead for a visit one afternoon. Blessings to you.
Thank you for stopping by and for the invite! Our winters are to cold to be able to grow all year. Actually we grow winter crops in the summer and summer crops in the greenhouse.
