In my fridge / on my table/counter right now!

- tons of tomatoes, cherry and normal, some ripe, some still green
- 5.5 cups of de-husked ground cherries ready for pie
- a huge bag of swiss chard
- a huge bag of beet greens about to be made into a pasta dish
- a big bag of beets
- a sandwich bag of potatoes (puny harvest)
- several cucumbers
- a bag of celery
- a few jalapeno peppers
- one small green pepper

Still in the garden:  more chard (about half has already succumbed to the cold but some still crisp) and celery; a few more beets; maybe a few carrots but not sure if there's much root to harvest

Sowed garlic 'German White'

Decided I hadn't planted enough garlic.  So, this time bought 'German White'.  Put 8 cloves in the south tip of the west bed, and, 5 bad-looking/partly rotten? cloves on the north wall bed along the patio, the section at the west part of the patio, on the north half of it so the part right next to the neighbour's house.

First frost will probably be tonight

First frost will probably be tonight.  Harvested the almost-last Malabar spinach tonight, and some ground cherries. 

==> Edited afterward to say yes, there was a light frost that did in the Malabar spinach.  Not heavy enough to bother the chard, celery, beets, or carrots.

Marvelous malabar

Sure do love Malabar spinach.  First year trying it; it was sooooo slow to take off, but then when it did, wow!  So prolific, with huge, lush leaves.  Still harvesting it now although there's red spots on most of the leaves.  Frost called for tomorrow night so will try to bring it all in before then.

Sowed garlic ('Music')

Sowed 'Music' garlic today.  8 cloves on the window narrow bed plus around the corner to the back wall.  And, 4 cloves on the nice bed adjacent to the patio stones, running north-south.
