It's November - the weather is cooling down and it's time to bundle up. This is also time to start cleaning up the gardens and getting rid of unwanted/dead plants. This is also time to pick out whatever is left in the vegetable gardens before the first frost hits.
A very pleasant surprise were the Solar Yellow Carrots. Although they took almost the entire season to grow, they turned out beautifully and was a nice little treat in November when almost all the other vegetables were gone. Now it's making me think that I should have planted a few more of them! We at them the same day they were harvested (boiled them quickly and sauteed in butter) and they were DELICIOUS!
Here's a pic of a few other things I managed to harvest in November - lots of green onions, red onions, cayenne peppers, cherry tomatoes, and even one lettuce plant that was hiding in between the onions!
I have to say, it has been a GREAT growing season this year. Not that we grew so much that we could feed a village, but definitely enough to supplement our grocery bills. I learned so much about starting the plants from seeds and about different vegetables, and was so good to see what heirloom, organic, and natural vegetables should be like (not to mention how delicious everything tastes!).
Now... time to take a break and start planning for next season! :) Stay tuned!
