So the temperature is dropping and your tomatoes have stopped ripening…

You’re left with tons of green tomatoes that it would be a shame to waste.

Leaving them on the plant, you risk losing them to the first frost. 🥶

So pick them all and bring them inside.

You can either leave them in a bowl (or cardboard box) and they WILL eventually ripen, though it may take some time.

Or, you can use them green to make:
🍅 Fried Green Tomatoes
🍅 Green Tomato Salsa
🍅 Pickled Tomatoes
🍅 Tomato Jam

Plenty of options to not waste any of your hard-earned harvest 💚

What is your favourite way to use Green Tomatoes?

Closing the garden for the season? 🍂 Don’t make these common mistakes:

🌱 Removing every root: If plants are healthy, cut them at the base and leave the roots behind. They’ll gradually break down and return organic matter to the soil.

♻️ Throwing away perfectly good soil: Used soil doesn’t automatically mean depleted soil. Refresh it with compost or amendments to keep using it season after season.

🦠 Leaving diseased plants behind: Healthy roots can stay, but diseased plant material should be removed to help prevent problems from carrying into next season. Also, don’t throw diseased plants in your compost pile!

🌿 Harvesting herbs too late: Don’t wait for a hard freeze. Harvest and preserve tender herbs while they’re still in good condition.

💧 Leaving irrigation connected: Before freezing temperatures arrive, disconnect and drain irrigation lines, hoses and watering equipment to help prevent freeze damage.

A little fall prep can make getting back into the garden next spring a whole lot easier. 🌱

🌱 So easy, even kids can do it!

One of the best ways to get kids excited about gardening? Give them a garden of their own.

With GardenSoxx, you can set up a kid-sized growing space where they can choose what to plant, get their hands in the soil, take care of their plants and watch their own garden grow — not just help out with a little corner of yours. 🍓🥕🌻

It’s hands-on learning, time outside, and a whole lot more exciting when they get to say, “I grew that!”

Fill. Plant. Grow. Together. 💚

Your garden may be winding down, but your soil is still worth thinking about. 🌱🍂

The end of the growing season is a great time to add organic matter back into the soil and support the microbial life that helps keep it healthy.

Kaytonik® is a natural soil amendment rich in humic and fulvic substances that help support soil biology, improve nutrient availability and build better growing conditions for the seasons ahead.

A little care for your soil now can help set the stage for healthier growth next season. 🌿

There is something different about food picked fresh from your own garden 🫜🥬🥕

Fresher, nutrient-rich produce, more time outside, and the satisfaction of knowing exactly where your food came from.

Grow fresh, eat well, feel good.

GardenSoxx makes it easy.

We’re not quite ready to let go of growing season either. 🥲🌱

Luckily, radishes give us a pretty good excuse to keep going.

Often one of the first crops planted in spring, radishes can come full circle as a great late-summer planting, too — a little bridge between the fresh harvests of summer and the cooler days of fall. 🍂

And they don’t need much time. Many varieties are ready to harvest in just 3–5 weeks, and radishes actually prefer the cooler temperatures that arrive as summer winds down.

For a good fall crop, sow seeds directly into the soil, give them enough space to develop, and keep the soil consistently moist. You can even sow a small batch every week or two for successive harvests, as long as your growing season allows.

So yes, summer is ending. The days are getting shorter. We’re all feeling very emotional about it.

But we still have radishes. ❤️🫜
