Some Fall Vegetables

We just plain got tired of all the melons.  After having it every day on our cruise, we just couldn't face any more.  So out they came.  The winter squash is still there, doing amazingly well.

I sowed some chard and kale in an empty bed, but only the chard came up really well.  There are a few curly kale plants, but the Tuscan kale never came up at all.  So I found a six pack of starts at 13th Street Nursery and stuck them in. 

I also found a six pack of Brussels sprouts, which I tucked in a couple of other beds.

Winding Down

We just returned from Tucson.  We've been gone for a week and a half, getting our park model ready to sell.

The tomatoes are pretty much done.  The few ripe ones have split from all the rain while we were gone.  There are a couple of green ones, but I'll probably just toss them.  There are a few aubergines, which is good, because I'd really like to make the gratin again.

The zucchinis are still producing.  I even saw a honeybee this afternoon, so I'll let them stay for now, even though the plants look terrible.

The broccoli and cauliflower are finished, so out they came.  But the cabbages and Brussels sprouts are looking great.  There are six really nice heads of cabbage.

The tat soi is looking good, so it may be stir fry time.  The chard looks good but small.  Next year I'll start it a little earlier.
