I’ve finished all of my garden cleanup now and the only
thing left to do is get some straw to mulch the beds with overwintering
veg. But one of my favourite gardening
tasks is actually done in the comfort of my warm and toasty house as the snow
flies outside – and that is the end of season review.
All summer I take lots of notes (or at least try to) on what
is going on in the garden – although usually my notes are much better in the
beginning of the season than at the end.
I think that November (when the current season is still somewhat fresh
in your mind) is a great time for a review.
What worked?
What didn’t?
What changes should I make next year?
It’s also at this point that I make a note of
varieties that I want to keep/replace as well as draw up a preliminary plan for
next year’s garden.
I’ll be doing several summary posts for all of the crops I
grew over the next couple of weeks.
For
the most part, I will focus on one or two veg families per post.
Tomatoes, however, are an entirely different
animal.
There always seems to be so much
to say when it comes to tomatoes, so I am splitting this summary into three posts.
