Sustainable Farm Journal

The first frost In the fall of 2016 occurred on Saturday, November 28. All my pepper and tomato plants were killed.

With cooler temperatures this fall, my tomatoes, which I thought had reached the end of their lives at the end of summer, have rebounded and are producing fruit again.

After the heat of summer made microgreens impossible to grow in the small greenhouse with very limited temperature controls, I've now been able to resume growing them now that fall has arrived. I'm growing kale, sunflowers, radishes and green peas. Because temperatures are still very high in the greenhouse, I must water three times a day, morning, afternoon and early evening, to keep them from drying out.
