Tomatoes and snow

Welcome to the inaugural post of LakeMichigardener! it's been a fun first year of gardening here along the Lake Michigan western shoreline. We've learned a lot and need to keep track of what we do so we can get better and better at it.

The most successful part of our garden this year was most definitely the TOMATOES! What you see above it the last of our heirloom tomatoes, which we picked about 3-4 weeks ago before the first hard frost. They are ripening nicely on the windowsill, and although they do not have the same delicious quality as the summer tomatoes, they are still MILES better than the typical tomato you can buy in a supermarket at this time of year.

Although we will not be posting as frequently as with our companion lakemichiblog, we hope that this blog will be a helpful resource for other gardeners and mostly, for us. Enjoy!
