HOw To FALL GARDEN HARVEST

Fall garden update:

Squash bed

Squash and Napa cabbage doing well...

Fall tomato plant

Tomatoes are blooming, not sure if we'll get any this season, might have gotten them in too late or our weather was too weird, but at least they are trying...

Herb raised bed 

Herb bed has gone to seed, but it's OK, the bees and butterflies are loving it.  And we can still harvest the thyme and oregano...

Bibb lettuce

Buttercrunch (Bibb) lettuce was ready to be harvested.  I forgot about staggering the planting and so now it's all ready at once.  Oops!  

So I harvested two ways...I cut some at the base...

...and pulled some up and put them, roots and all, in jars of water.  

Greens raised bed

Here are the greens.  The center plants are mustard greens, with leaves ready for harvesting.

Fall harvest basket

And here is this weeks harvest basket. A yellow squash in the bottom, mustard greens, heads of bibb lettuce, and a handful of lemon thyme.

Let the cooking/eating begin!
