With the harvest of the last few peppers, the summer garden season came to a close today. Imagine a door slowly, quietly, clicking to. Of course I have regrets. I wish I had planted more, more often, and more varieties. Laughable. Our small kitchen beds put out lots of food, all of it interesting and truly good. More? Is it me or is it all gardeners?
The next sunny day, I will pull out the broccoli because freeze is predicted. Lettuce, cabbage and carrots will get covered to protect from the cold, cold night temperatures. The temperature change will be abrupt, one of those "Who left the fridge door open?" events so best to play it safe. We somehow manage to eat from our kitchen garden every day, still. Here are pictures of where we are now...

| Savoy cabbages are starting to form heads. Ah, the sweet sound of the crunch when sliced open. Now that's something to look forward to on tacos! |

| Last of the broccoli on the chopping block. Ready to be steamed with a squeeze of lemon. |

| Roasted Red Core Chantenay were for supper last night. Tres bon! |
