I'll be using this blog to keep myself on schedule for everything that needs to be done around the yard and garden. There's a lot to keep track of, so I'll program some timely (or thymely) posts to help us remember so we'll be ready when each season rolls around. These dates and soil treatments will be specific to my area in Utah along the Wasatch Front.

Something new I'm going to try
As the first frost looms, we gotta say good-bye to fresh produce from the garden. But now that I have a garage, I have something I've been meaning to try. You know you can pick the green tomatoes from your vines and they will still eventually ripen on their own. But they still lack a little compared to a vine ripen tomato. So someone told me to just cut the ENTIRE tomato plant at the base and hang it upside down in your garage. The tomatoes are supposed to draw nutrients from the vines as they ripen. It can't be worse. And your tomato "picking" can continue through the new year!
