we got some snow. was not as bad, but... the forecast sounded quite concerning so between these things
traded so pickles, mine did not make it, so I have only larger cucumbers, say 40+cm long kind
the cover went up. will see if that saved a good amount f harvest. I have probably coupe hundred pounds under there if not more, removed some borage to plant more alpines... and boy I got me volunteers in there I have to transplant immediately otherwise I will not see me that bed at all, I did not expect that plant to get huge like a good size bush, boy they were 5 times bigger than my new currant plant in the same bed, so not joking...., I found white alpine variety.
and that beard is chard for seeds. I'm getting volunteers out of that bed :) they seem to take over in there.
potatoes were covered earlier, learning from neighbors how they did it, very different from how I did it and my granny and so on back home
Autumn inter-planting. I put some new currant booshes in the garden, cold weather crop and I finally got me rhubarb plant too.
squashes and melons
broccoli last year was a lot sweater, Something need to be changed, I need to research that part. maybe I'll plant it in shadier area and see how that goes.
Some salad like plants get second greens. I love mesuna, new plant for me, sure thing a keeper. I like how it did. and like it's companion. side companion
celery. I'm looking forward to some seeds from the organic plant that has adapted to my dirt nicely. and neighbors say that in new gardens no one was able to grow celery here, too alkaline
So. cauliflowers... they did not do anything all summer except of making huge leaves, so... I gave up by September... fed the plant to chickens, they were happy... and here we go less than a week. Who knew... Go figure these heirlooms. Orange and green I did not see unless those broccoli like plants supposed to be them. I wonder about those gree cauliflower seeds now...
Ok that volunteer was looking like potato and bloomed with tomato flowers. if that survived cold and gets me a tomato I'm keeping this guy :). such a fighter plant
and I got me some new grapes hoping to grate trellis. I did see something like it at one other house.
And canning.
No shortage of tomatoes... those I need to work on
can not take credit for these peppers I got these for seeds for next year, the rest is mine
my seed tomatoes
more harvest
my seed cucumbers. not sure if Armenian is ready or just looks like it... larger than a zucchini
another volunteer produced these decorative mini pumpkins
and got some of these. I planted a young tree. so maybe in 5-6 years I get me something like these I traded :), maybe some day. they are beautiful, aren't they.
Looks like a wonderful harvest and great tips for next year. It is fun to trade too!
