Garden Notes: November 2025

Wednesday, November 19, 2025 7:43

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I’m getting a jump on posting my November garden notes, because I want to clear my blogging calendar for my holiday series. It’s 10 parts, which will take about a month, starting next week. I’ll be updating this post as the weather and other garden events require.

My early November view from the goat barn.

Rainfall

8th: 0.12″
Total so far: 0.12 inches

Temperature

range of nighttime lows: 25 to 58°F (-4 to 14.4°C)
range of daytime highs: 42 to 77°F (5.5 to 25°C)

First freeze: Nov. 11

Outside: 25°F (-4°C)
Greenhouse: 32°F (0°C)

Weather Notes

We skipped first frost this year and when right to first freeze. There had been scattered frost in the neighborhood, but somehow it missed our garden.
We could use some rain, but with cooler temperatures at least the ground doesn’t dry out as quickly as it does in summer.

Harvested

lettuce
kale
cherry tomatoes
Jerusalem artichokes
red raspberries
parsley
oregano
sweet potatoes
green beans
turnips
collards

Transplanted

lettuce
kale
broccoli
aloe vera

Garden notes

I got the last of everything harvested before the freeze
Garden chores now consist of finishing bed cleanup and mulching each.
After I get the beds mulched, I’ll start working on the aisles between the beds.

Raking and hauling leaves to the garden for mulch is an almost daily chore.

Jerusalem artichokes

The sunchokes were from a volunteer plant in a greenhouse container. Somehow it survived the hot summer temps in the greenhouse and I think I only watered it once out of pity. When I emptied out the pot for winter planting, it was loaded with the chokes you see above.

Here’s how the greenhouse looks at present -

This year’s greenhouse experiment is peas. These are the edible pod peas we like so well.

When I harvested the sweet potatoes, I decided to try digging up and potting my bell pepper plants. I tried this several years ago but those didn’t make it. Maybe they’ll do better in the greenhouse.

4 potted bell pepper plants

I also dug up one nicely sprouting sweet potato. So it went into a pot as well.

Struggling sweet potato. I may have to move it indoors when it gets really cold.

The other thing I did before the freeze was to cut off a bunch of cherry tomato vines. These were set on the table in the carport. The leaves are drying out but the tomatoes continue to ripen, so we’re still eating fresh cherry tomatoes even though the rest of the garden is done.

The weather has been lovely so I spend part of each afternoon working in the garden. With sunny mild days in the upcoming forecast, I should get a lot done.

How about you? Anyone growing a fall garden? Anyone got a greenhouse?
