End of the Edibles

Yes, I'm still alive!

2019 was a buuuuusy, life-changing year!
In 2017, I posted 54 garden posts.  
In 2018:  32.

2019?  9    😯🙈 
And off to a rough start in 2020 when my first is in April!

Aaaaaand...just a couple things have happened since I last blogged here. 
You know, small things like most of the major holidays, me becoming pregnant and doing absolutely nothing productive through much of the winter, and now this little thing called a global pandemic.
Granted, the quarantine caused by that last one, while rough and life-altering has actually been great for both gardeners and bloggers! 
So at a few different times I have been writing posts, just not publishing them, so sorry if these come rapid fire as I catch up with where I left off!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I mentioned  previously  that my 2019 edibles were a pretty miserable failure.

Oddly enough, at the the end of October, we had produce!

A very respectable green pepper popped up!

Tomatoes finally started ripening....just in time to not fully ripen before cold hit. Alas. At least husband got some cherry tomato snacks while out mowing or grilling for a week or so!

I planted a second crop of peas, which shot up beautifully! 

Buuuuut as I was pretty much exactly 2 weeks late in planting them, they didn't sprout peas until the first frost...had I been 2 weeks earlier it would have been perfect. No fall peas 😞

But the one thing I can always count on is cilantro!!!

It has completely overtaken the edible bed and went to seed for most of the winter and then dutifully came back in January. I can't tell you how delightful it is to go out into your garden in January or February and get fresh cilantro for a curry! 😄

Thus ended a rather dismal season...but seeing as I put a whole lot of almost nothing into it, I didn't expect much else!

Here's to you, 2020!
