Rooftop Gardening is Closed for Winter

It's been a few weeks since I've checked the garden so last weekend I stepped back onto the roof to see what vegetables did and didn't work as fall rooftop crops.

Fall Is Here

Now that fall has officially arrived most of the containers have been packed away for the rest of the year. Black trash bags cover the planters to keep them light and dry, and to prevent weeds from growing and removing nutrients from the soil.

The Last Summer Vegetable

The Sun Gold cherry tomato plant is the last survivor of the summer crops and it continues to flower and fruit. Since I like the cherries so much I'm going to let the plant linger as long as the weather allows. Once the evening temps drop to the mid 50's I'll pull it out and prepare the container for winter storage.

Weather Change Means Garden Change

Now that the weather is cooling down I've planted a few fall crops and prepared some containers for winter storage.
