Still growing some Arugula in the Earth Box. I expect I can continue through November, until we have frost at night. But the patio is warm in the mornings, and may be protected from frost, so I'll give it a try as far into the winter as possible.
Here is my last tomato plant. We ate all those red tomatoes in arugula salads during all last week (October 25-30). Some animal (raccoon?) helped finish off some of the tomatoes we didn't get to.
Today, I pulled up the tomato plant and chopped it up for the compost bin. I was so happy and excited to see actual compost in the bin! This is the first time I "turned" the compost. It is not a "hot" compost pile, but it is still compost never the less!
We have a pineapple guava bush growing next to our fence. Thought it was just a hedge until these things started to fall off into the lawn around mid November.
