1) Halloween weekend feels like I’ve stretched garden season long enough; Time for some garden clean-up…except for a few things I’m still gonna push along. 😜

2) Carrots and beets still thriving in the raised containers. I’ll be leaving those until we can use them. Rumour has it they’re sweeter after the first frost anyway. On the other hand, the lemongrass that has grown across the doorway is ready for harvesting.

3) These peppers may have been left a little long on the vine, but nothing goes to waste. You’ll see.

4) It looks sparse now, to me. It’s deceiving. There is still so much in it that could be consumed.

5) These wouldn’t be any good for a sandwich now, but this variety was never meant for that purpose. They’re still great for sauce!

6) There is more fruit left on my vines, at this point, than leaves.

7) I cannot complain about our tomato harvest this year. This will be the last of them. At the height of harvest season, I picked this amount every other day. We ate our fair share. Our freezers are full. We kept some of our friends in supply all season, and we shared with a few neighbours. We definitely learned from our mistake of last year, which was planting our tomatoes directly in the soil under a black walnut tree. Don’t do it.

8) I can’t complain about the jump I saw in our asparagus crop this year either. For context, these stalks are more than 6’ tall.

9) This marks the end of year two for our asparagus. The planting instructions recommended waiting three years before harvesting. Impatient person that I am, I am going to assume that means I can harvest in my third year (this Spring) rather than after it. 😜

10) Brussels sprouts are still growing. I won’t be giving up on those just yet.

11) Kale (two types) will continue to grow until the ground freezes. Some say it’s best (sweeter)
