Parsley in front, and a row of garlic behind, with brassicas in the top left; half of the garden is
tucked in for winter underneath a layer of cardboard and fallen leaves. |
First frost was also a killing frost for us, on Thursday morning November 1st. Any tender vegetation that was not freeze tolerant turned black in the morning sun. Nearly half of the vegetable garden is tucked in for winter, underneath a layer of cardboard and fallen leaves. Parsley is still growing, bright green, to add to our late fall soups; one-third of our cabbage heads have been harvested. Brussels sprouts increase in size, while our future corn patch is really turning green with clover.

The change back to standard time has returned us to long nights. Another growing season has come and gone; we're looking forward to enjoying our preserved harvests through the coming holidays. The garden will remain essentially as it is now until February, when we prepare for planting early spinach. Thank you for enjoying the season with us!
