End of October

Posted on by Catherine

There is still a lot of food in the garden. We want to lay out the rows and paths, but may be forced to work around these crops.

A late season borage
Comfrey after 2 or 3 cuttings
Two year old scallions – should I let them keep going?
Broccoli rabe – food for the bees
Little spinach plants growing among the self seeded scallions
A binful of horseradish roots to process
A rainbow of chard
Red Russian kale
Escarole
Salanova lettuce – Red Butter
Turkish Rocket
Parsnip patch
Beets at various stages
Second succession of carrots. Not pictured: first succession.
Dazzling blue kale – lacinato. After a rough start, it grew big and handsome. Sharing with green caterpillars.
Late pea blossoms from fall planting. Will we get peas?
Kale in the background, peas growing on cattle panel. A patch of annual rye grass in the middle.

Also:

  • Herbs: parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
  • Community garden: more onions, leeks, and a fennel being allowed to go to seed.
  • Fruit yard: a potato patch not harvested yet.
