Smith Farms

One of the few successes I've had this year is the Minnesota midget melon (cantaloupe) .

It was very tasty. I saved the seeds for next year.

A large oregano harvest.

A snack from the garden for my rabbits.

Sage, fennel, strawberry leaves, rosemary, basil, lettuce, raspberry.

The flowers in the front yard look great

The basil is doing well. Soon it will be harvested.

The peppers are growing nicely. They'll be turned into paprika.

Garden progress.

Apples are looking good. We have sweet William flowers finally growing and the sage plants are in full bloom

Tomatoes are ready for the evening.

Last carrot harvest of the season, December 15

Our indoor growing set up to hopefully keep rosemary, a fig and a pepper alive during the winter

some peppers were still alive inside the greenhouse

i have caribbean, paprik and vietnamese peppers.

I found some scarlet runner beans growing on the fence and some fennel seeds

Likely the last tomato harvest of the season

Everyone's favourite pleasant smelling weed,lavender, is still flowering.

Pumpkin, apple, squash harvest

Second donation from the garden to the Orangeville Food Bank Orangeville Food Bank

Our extra batch of tomatoes were donated to the Orangeville Food Bank

Peppers, seeds and lunch box.

A picture perfect paprik pepper.

Apple harvest

More carrots and tomatoes

Tomato harvest

Roma, pink bumble bee and Orangeville tomatoes

My melon crop has been hit with a blight. I grabbed the large one in hopes it would be ripe but no luck with that. I was able to save the seeds. It's a Montreal Melon

This morning's harvest

Orangeville tomato, roma from our garden beds and containers, pink bumblebee cherry tomatoes and cucamelons

An interesting observation:

The four roma tomatoes at the top of the image came from the plants growing in containers and they are noticeably smaller than the ones below them which were grown in the ground

Pickles

These are some great cherry tomatoes.

I believe they are pear cherry tomatoes but I prefer to call them "Orangeville Tomatoes". They will sometimes turn a darker colour that is closer to orange.

They also grow well and rarely suffer from blossom end rot.

I'll make sure I save the seeds from them to make available for everyone next year

First carrots of the season
