Here is a little bit of the fall harvest. We tried some late beats, and from what I hear they are pretty good. These two jars are going to Mary Helen this weekend. We have also been vacuum sealing and freezing some broccoli and alot of green peppers. My freezer is about full, and more peppers to come. Time to start handing these out. Thanks to Judy Hartlage for the vacuum sealer, I got in 4 more rolls of bags today.


Here is a pic of our lettuce patch. It is growing really well. The bright green is black Simpson, I think it taste really good. The dark green is romaine. I haven't tryed it yet, but will in the next week. We also planted spinach, but it didn't do to well. I will have to read up on it.



Its been too long since my last update. Its been pretty busy around here, cleaning up the garden and storm damage from hurricane Ike. We have had very good success with fall broccoli, ever plant has produced a nice size head. I cant believe that the marigolds are still blooming. Next year I am going to plant some in every bed.
