We've now pulled out our tomato plants - the green ones that were left didn't ripen. The last red ones we had were starting to be more on the sour side. Maybe if you have some red ones, or starting to be red, bring them in and see what they taste like. That will tell you if they're done for the season. I just put them in a bowl on the bench and use them as they ripen.

We've planted peas in pods, which are fun for kids (well I reckon anyway), and carrots because the leafy green is fun, but to pull out something orange is even cooler! Everything we grow is in a really narrow garden bed (like not even half a metre off the fence) and it all goes well. DD is 2 and is fascinated when we go out to pick something. Have fun!
