Planted more garlic

Planted more garlic.  ~4 in the overhang bed and a few in the carrot bed.  Left most of the ones that had already sprouted (used one of them in a recipe).

No first frost yet

For the record, no first frost yet, at least not in my backyard.  Has been a very warm fall, and forecast not looking like frost for at least another week.

Things that are still going strong

Wow, October 24th and so many things still to harvest in the garden.

Big tomatoes:  Several large tomatoes still on the plant, some ripening, some still green. No frost yet and probably not for another week at least, so will leave them on the plant for now.

Cherry tomatoes:  The plant I bought late-season and planted I think on July 22nd has done amazingly well.  Have harvested ~a dozen or so ripe ones so far, and there are tons of green ones as well as more ripening.  Will leave on plant until frost comes.  The Tiny Tim plant has been long dormant.

Chard:  Tons of huge leaves.  Haven't been doing much with them lately, all cooked out I guess, plus my basement freezer is already almost full.  Really should get back to eating all this healthy free food.

Celery:  Still quite a bit of celery left too.

Peas:  See other post.

Carrots:  Still a few sizable ones left, and quite a few immature ones that who knows, might get a chance to grow to good size yet.

Green onions:  The ones in the onion bed had a resurgence starting a few weeks ago, very handy.

Potatoes:  One little patch left that I haven't dug up yet, although with the pathetic harvest from what I've dug so far, not holding out hope that there's much in there.

Last beets

Harvested the last beets today.  Delicious steamed, with margarine and vinegar.  Will definitely grow them again next year.

Fall pea harvest

First fall peas harvested about a week ago, and a few more pods harvested every few days since then, which will probably continue for a another week at most.

Nowhere near as tasty or high yield as spring crop.  And, now many pods have a sickly look, something going on with their outside, but the peas inside are good.  Shame though to have to toss all those pod exteriors.

A year or two ago the fall peas were a great harvest.  Oh well!

Uh oh, garlic has sprouted

Woops, must have planted too early, especially with this crazy warm fall we've had.

Might leave a few in anyway to see what they do, but this weekend will replant.

Planted garlic ('Siberian')

Planted ~6 garlic bulbs today.
