I love harvest time and Canadian Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday. This past week I pretty much harvested all of my garden excpet carrots and potatoes. I have TONS of tomatoes and the difference between this harvest and the prairie harvest is that I got to pick off the tomatoes at a pleasant temperature! I still have mostly green ones but they are ripening in my newly created cold room. I can't say that I had a better harvest than in my Saskatchewan garden but I sure learned a lot this year. Lack of water will probably always be my bugbear. I transplanted a bunch of daylilies and lilies into new areas this week and the really joyful thing was to NOT dig a hole that was 18 inches deep for lilies. I don't think we get that kind of frost around here. It's a good thing because it's pretty much impossible to dig a deep hole out here - there's always one more rock to discover. Don't those harvest preserves look scrumptious?

My mouth is watering! Over here we've been getting a steady harvest of tomatoes, but our garden only yielded six squash.
Are there any rodents in your area who're likely to dig out your flower garden?
