The Impending Frost ....
Here it was, November, and we had not yet had a hard frost. Every night seemed to get colder, so I was trying to get all the vegetables harvested and stored for the winter.
November 2 was the date. I was out in the garden, picking everything I could.
 |
| Winter Squash! - Clockwise from top left: Tetsukabuto, heirloom Vermicelli, Sweet Mama, Sweet Dumpling, Orange Magic, Delicata and Red Kuri |
 |
| Broccoli! |
 |
| Tomatoes - After bringing them in the house in a cardboard box, I set them in a single layer, on the kitchen counter. I could easily spot the ones that were ripe and use them first. The green tomatoes would gradually ripen over the next several weeks. |
 |
| Cherry tomatoes - Yummy! I ate these in salads every day. |
 |
| Tomatillos - I removed the husks, cooked them down a little and then froze them. I will use them to make salsa verde. |
 |
| Eggplant and Peppers |
 |
| Cantaloupe, Cucumbers and some tiny Zucchetta! |
Even with all the scorching days of the summer that had set the garden back, I still had plenty to harvest.
