Our squash plant
shrivelled up and died on us this week! I knew, when it first sprouted, that it would be too late for any harvest. It
was growing fantastically though, covered in little yellow flowers and huge flat leaves, its finger-like vines winding themselves around the
nearest plants. It did not like the drop in temperature: we
had our first frost on the weekend and though we’ve had some glorious, 21
degree C weather, it was also sitting at 3 degrees C last night. Facebook tells me there was snow in Boston and Baltimore!
I brought in a huge bucket of green grape tomatoes in time for the frost and they’re ripening on our kitchen bench. I remembered to collect them late at night by the light of a torch (I felt like the great tomato thief!) and I'm looking forward to making some traditional tomato sauce. I’ve also transplanted a basil plant and a mint plant to pots. I hope they survive as I think I may have been a bit late in the season to do this.
It's time to find room for the rest of the pots inside the apartment.
