End of Gardening Season

I will miss the tomatoes as well. I have plenty of squash and green peppers in the freezer. I also have about 8 jars of homemade pickles which will hopefully get us through until the next season.
Since it was such a cool summer here in the north, I will miss a full harvest. However, my peppermint and sage plants are doing well (especially the peppermint). I just brought both plants indoors. I hope I don't have a bug problem from bringing outdoor plants indoors. I really want both plants to thrive throughout the fall and winter.
Christine, your peppermint and sage will probably do good in the house since they are herbs. Parsley does well indoors in a sunny window and it is cheery to see it in the dead of winter. Post a picture of your plants in the winter so we can see how well they are doing. 
Christine, have you ever grown catnip indoors? When I had cats they loved it very much and its cheaper than buying it. If you plant some
maybe then your cat will leave the peppermint alone.
That is very true that store bought veggies are not the same at all as the ones we grow our self. The tomatoes are really bad and I prefer to use canned tomatoes from the store in the winter rather than buy those in the produce section.
