So a few last tomatoes & time to overwinter the raised beds

& did I mention one of my neighbors has a goat tied to their house? Give it up for East Austin, y’all :D

    Those look like our beds! =)

    How does overwintering work? We need tarps?

    I guess I also missed how the upside-down tomatoes went for you. Other than how you had yummy tomatoes to eat. ;) I’d like to try them, I think. Gotta convince Emi.

    Also, yay goat! Yay Awestin!

    Not sure if weeds & Augustine grass wreak the havoc in your part of the world that they do here, but if I didn’t use a weed mat (or its cheap cousin– black plastic sheeting) to keep the weeds killed off, they’d just push thru my nice composty soil for the veggies.
    Well, actually, I don’t think anything kills Augustine, but this does mean less weeding for me next year.
    Upside down planters rule!
    I had two kinds of Heirloom ‘matoes & I wish I’d gotten them in earlier, but they both are doing pretty well.
    & I suspect goatsie won’t be here long (can you say cabrito?), but he was awful cute &seemed pretty tame when we approached hum.
