First freeze...actually last night but this night will be colder. Vegetable-gathering over here.....most of this would not freeze in any case (or, like lettuce, freeze and then magically UN-freeze! always amazes me) but we are into the late fall early harvest.
Romain is safe from a freeze, particularly a light one - but this is beautiful. We had bad germination, so there aren't many...happy to see this.
This is fun....we've had these banana trees and all of us who live here already know that, you may get this far, but they probably won't ripen. No, you will never, ever have bananas, even though you can always hope!
Big beautiful GREENS for tomorrow - we've been selling them on the weekends...Will is getting a head-start, as is Pretty Boy and the 'cat-rock'
house-spinach (not for selling - because Spinach); and tarragon which will all freeze but come back in the spring.......
and then we have the over-abundance of lemons....! and more lemons!
oh! and dill! lots of beautiful dill....a wonderful fall herb that will not kick the bucket in a freeze....
....we didn't really expect this abundance this fall - it's been a hard couple of farming years. The new greenhouse will go a long way towards maintaining part of the garden no matter the weather. For now, we're pretty content...
