Can anyone tell me if I have time left in the season to grow tomatoes from seed? (56/57 degrees lat)

We normally we get frost in early October but they're going to be in a greenhouse, I'm prepared not to get fruit but it would be nice?

I don't think you can do it from seed this time of year unless you can keep them warm and supplement the daylight. I could be wrong though. I still have volunteers popping up around the garden. I would think that a cherry variety would give you the best chance.

Good luck.

Takes about 3 months to get fruits with the fastest varieties. So.. chances are you will get little to no fruits, since they are a warm season crop and won't do much under 15C, in the fall.

Canned another six pints of beans today. Brings the total to 16. I think I can get another dozen at least as I planted in a few different places weeks apart and some are just starting to bloom so more on the way. I've given some away and we've been eating them as well.

I'm surprised how much a 3 x 4 ft area of bush beans produced. They were loaded this year. The pole beans are just getting ready to pick as well. As soon as the bush beans are done I'll plant beets and maybe some kale. I'm going to get as much growing season out of the small space I have as I can.

I really want a couple acres of land so I can grow all I need for a year. The lady and I have been looking at places farther out from the city but damn the prices are up there for anything connected to utilities. There's property for cheap but if it doesn't have water, electricity, etc... it's not really an option.

If you still have tomato plants? Maybe try some cuttings Two foot deep green manure might keep your greenhouse warm all winter

Are those a perennial? I can't remember. I've thought about growing them as they're high in antioxidants and they taste pretty good as well.

Yes, gogi berries are perennial. These ones are organic. They seem to handle neglect. And they are very different. I eat them for my health

There's a few apples blown off its been autumn like.

I doubt they'll fruit now frost isn't far away its getting down to 3c during the night.

The idea was to get a time frame for seedlings to work from next year so I've got that at least.

Here's some mint I transplanted. After a couple of days it seems to be taking.

I was maybe a little quick to write off getting fruit from the tomatoes there's flower's in the pic above I didn't notice until they opened.

The pics not great but it's flower's, the plants are in a greenhouse hopefully it'll keep the frost away long enough to get fruit
It's down the wire

They're growing very slow but yeh! I've got a tomato.

I doubt there's enough heat now to get them over the finish line bit it's been close had I decided a month earlier they'd have fruited still there's been something learned from it preparingme betterfor next year.

Have a nice weekend folk's.

It's still hanging in there

I'm going to cut them down when I've a minute, it's been interesting I'm ready for next year now

I nipped the top shoot from a plant to encourage the growth into the fruit (idk if it works like that) it seems logical?

One of tips I removed (and rooted pointlessly) had a truss forming I wondered how it would do if I planted that in springtime, it seems logical like a clone it's mature and might give fruit earlier?
