I think I have enough................

[veggiechicken]

...............to last me until spring 2015

I think I have enough:-
Onions
Potatoes
Frozen tomatoes
Pots of jam
Eggs (if the chooks keep laying)
Cabbagey things
Firewood
Compost

But, I'm really going to miss:-
Fresh tomatoes
Courgettes
Cucumbers
Raspberries

How about you?

You could always give to friends and family And still carry on growing fresh.

Sounds good. May I suggest long storage tomatoes to keep you in fresh toms over winter. The Tomate de Colgar ones that Real Seeds sell are brilliant. Last year I had a few plastic punnets of them on my kitchen window ledge until Easter. Find they don't do as well in the fridge or garage but the window ledge was brilliant. They have a slightly thicker skin but still keep the proper tomato taste that beats the winter supermarket ones hands down.

To have cause to miss courgettes would be quite welcome in this house at the moment ...

For over winter in the garden we've got :-

kales
parsnips
leeks
chard
lettuce plus some to go in the GH

then in the freezer

roasted toms and sauces
runner, broad and serbian beans
peas
cooked apple
blackberries
raspberries
herbs

in jars there's plenty of
jams, chutneys and pickles

and like you I'm going to miss
Fresh tomatoes
Courgettes
Cucumbers
and generally nibbling things as I wonder around the garden.

I'm going to add those to my ever growing seed list.

I wonder if you could keep tomatoes fresh the same way the Victorians kept grapes fresh, by cutting a truss with plenty of stalk, and putting the stalk in a bottle or jar of water like a cut flower. Might have a try at it.
