End-of-year wrapup

We've taken in all our produce now, except for some brussels sprout, the cucumber plants and cabbage.  Next year's garlic has been planted.  It was a good gardening year.  The cucumber, carrots and sungold tomato were especially productive and delicious.   See ya next year folks!

Sept 30 Garden

Hanging fruit

The carnival squash continue to ripen.  Of the two that were hanging, the smaller started to whither, so it was taken and treated as a summer squash.

The Brussels Sprout have shown a huge amount of sprout growth, but oddly enough it is at the tops, and not at the base.  We will have to try trimming more at the base.

Cabbage is also growing.  We have another head or two.  Will be good to harvest one a month into the fall.

Amazingly, the cucumber seems to have caught a second wind and is growing flowers again.  Can we get more cukes?

Definite slowing of tomatoes, but still producing.  Wonderful to get them in October.

Carrots and Kohlrabi look great.  Continuous harvest.

Rutabagas small but growing.

Chard needs the Chard Man to help out.  Too many leaf miners.

Celeric:  Growing any root?

Sept 7: Preparing for Fall

Carnival Squash.  Colourful Carnival Squash.

 

 

Notice we have a new item.  Parsley!

Watch them rutabagas!

Brussels sprouts were chopped at the heads.  Need some sprouts.

Celeric taking root.

Carrots have had a great year 

Tomatoes, delicious tomatoes.

The backyard cabbage is finding its way.

The chard has been nibbled.  Needs time to grow new leaves.

Beans working on a second flush.  Slow and Steady!

Kohlrabi takes its space/place after the bigger ones were harvested.

Cucumbers take a rest before the big Fall growth spurt.
