Fall crops in my garden:
Spinach
Arugula
Lettuces
Sugar Magnolia (purple) Peas and Sugar Ann Snap Peas
I have ONE stalk of Brussels Sprouts - I’m the only one who likes them!
Kale. There’s always Kale, LOL!
I did not replant Broccoli because I got TWO huge crops from the six plants I had in all season. Variety was ‘Lieutenant’ and I have never had a broccoli give such a fantastic second ‘heading’ as this variety. Wow. So, 12 big crowns of Broccoli, chopped, blanched and frozen is plenty for the two of us.
Kale, probably won’t plant it again. First time this year.
Started a third planting of romaine, sprouted already. We will see. Still have raspberries to ripen, may different kinds of peppers coming in. Shishitos slowing down. Have made 2 batches of stuffed peppers with the costa rican red ones. Fantastic, although I prefer to have them raw in a salad or a snack. Chinese long beans still producing and flowering. Hubby saw hummers on the flowers this morning. They have not left for down south yet. Butterkin squash still growing, one cucumber vine still alive with 2 small ones left. Herbs still growing. Just pulled the last of 9 broccoli plants. Most were waist high and the last one still producing although heads were very tiny. I still flash sautee these and vac seal for broccoli soup. I’ll have to post a picture of the broccoli trunks I have piled next to the compost pile. I am going to have to use pruning long clippers to chop these up for compost. My pawpaws should be ready in another week or so, I’ll be checking them every day. That’s about it, a great garden this year and we got a lot out of it. But I am loving the cooler temps, easier to be outside doing something before winter hits and I will be inside for the duration.
They don’t like Brussels sprouts roasted? Wow. We ate those like candy.
