Garden season is definitely winding down, but i'm still getting these....(lettuce, spinach, parsley, potatoes, and broccoli)!
I probably still have swiss chard too, if i could find it under the weeds.
I planted the lettuce, spinach, and broccoli in August, knowing i could sneak another round of those things in before it gets too cold. They are a cool weather vegetable and grow great in cooler temps. We did get one frost a couple weeks ago which took out my peppers and tomatoes.
I'm anxious to see how my lettuce does that i just planted last week. I have it under a cold frame. Think we'll be eating fresh lettuce in December? That would be nice!
If you have lots of parsley outdoors, don't let the frost kill it! Here's a short video on the best way to freeze it., so you can use it this winter. (click here). I hope i remember to do this, i have a lot of parsley.
There's still so much for me to learn about gardening and preserving. But i have come a long way over the years! There was only one year of my married life that i didn't have a garden. Let's just say having twins had a little something to do with that :)
