The Garden is winding down. Three weeks
ago we had our first frost, it was my Garden's very first frost and I
watched all my Basil, Pepper, and Tomatoes plants turned brown
overnight. I was impressed that cold could damage a plant THAT
quickly.There is plenty of fall crops that survive cold snaps: Cabbage, Lettuce, Kale, Perennial Herbs, Radishes, Carrots, Broccoli, and Cauliflower.
Carrots & Radishes. There
are still things to pick and eat. I have Carrots and Radishes,
planted from seed and forgotten and now are magically ready to add
nourishment to out family.. Radishes tops and bottoms are edible, I
used some potatoes I stored since spring and I made some creamy
potato soup topped with fresh cilantro.
Collards. Very
nutritious a little hard to cook, but I decided to go with a quiche.
I had never made a pie crust before.
That is amazing! I must say, I am jealous! None of my fall veggies grew...I was sad. One question: how do you store your potatoes?
