So, we made do with a few container plants of tomatoes and green peppers on our patio.
However, my husband has also been tending the garden of a good friend who has spent weeks in the hospital after a serious health crisis. And the bounty from that garden has been nothing short of amazing.
For example, last week, just before the weather turned, and we began getting regular hard frosts, he brought home a gorgeous bundle of rainbow Swiss chard.
