The other morning the temperature dropped to 27 degrees F. That took care of the basil. And the tomato plant.
As you can see, the basil is pretty much done for this year. Tomorrow I will clip off the dead stuff. I am hoping the roots are still happy in the tub. Basil was our most productive plant this year. I was so happy with them. We used a LOT of basil, at least, compared to any other year of our gardening life.
The tomato harvest came in, too. Or at least, I harvested our tomato crop to save it from further difficulties. Sadly, one of the tomatoes had fallen on the deck. I did not see it. I stepped on it. That was the end of that one...
So...this is the entire tomato harvest. I do not know if this gem will ripen in the house, but I hope so.
There is a big gardening summit online somewhere for the next few days. I am hoping to watch some of the presentations to see if they can help us for next year. I just have to remember that here in South Carolina February is a great time to start gardening for the year.
