Don't you love fall gardening?
We're seeing more and more freezing nights. But we are still getting carrots, beets, bok choi and lettuce. We have cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, but the heads are so small that I don't expect them to mature in time.
Our favorite right now is the spinach that is growing in one of the cold frames.
Here's our harvest totals for September and October:
Celery 1 lb 5 oz
Corn 60 lb 13 oz
Egg Plant 2 lb 5 oz
Leek 3 lb 9 oz
Pumpkin 4 lb 6 oz
Squash 1 lb 5 oz
Tomatillo 26 lb 14 oz
Tomato 101 lb 15 oz
Watermelon 11 lb
Total 213 lb 15 oz
I had to go out and pick all the carrots. One weatherman says that it will be 20F tonight and almost as low the next night. I was afraid if he was right that the ground would be frozen solid. Though to be honest I think it will be much warmer and it won't freeze quite yet. But I figured better safe than sorry.
