I only have a greenhouse. I pickle my green tomatoes that aren't going to ripen. PM me for a very easy on the counter recipe if you want it. I pull out the tomato stalks and green bean plants that are done and compost. All I have left are two broccoli and two cabbage plants that I am hoping will do something with the cooler weather. Now the greenhouse is firewood storage for the winter. Outside I put dry seaweed on top of flower beds to protect the perennials underneath. Some goes into the soil and some gets raked off in the spring. Lots of good stuff in seaweed for the soil.
