Weekly Gardening Outlook

This will be a continuing series where we look ahead at the coming week in gardening for the Northwest Arkansas area.

The last of the tomatoes

About 1/4 of the tomatoes have ripened thus far.  I just finished turning them into salsa.  A few went bad and had to be thrown out before they turned red and we will see what happens with the remaining green ones.


This will be the last weekly gardening outlook until next spring.  I will post here and there over the winter, so sign up for the email subscription on the right or link in with an RSS reader.  I have an idea for an interesting series in January and February.  I can' talk about it right now, but it should be interesting if it works out.


We are still only getting 1-2 eggs a day.  It' enough for us, but we aren't having eggcentric meals like we used to.  It's part of the cycle of egg raising and we are grateful for what we are getting.

Weather outlook:

-Highs around 70 and lows around 50 until Saturday.  Perfect growing weather.  Saturday it will cool down and a freeze is expected.  Minimal chance of rain through the week, 

-Ten day forecast

What's being harvested:

-Green onions

-Lettuce

-Chard (still hanging in there)

-Mint (still hanging in there)
