Reward

Fall-Winter gardening is a lot of reward for a little work. It feels a little wrong, in a good way. 😎

Here's the update:
Carrots: Lots of big beautiful carrots this year.
Broccoli: All gone but it sure was good.
Mustard: Keeps on coming.
Cabbage: Forming heads.
Rutabagas: They are nearing harvest.
Lettuce: Lots. All kinds.
Radishes: Slow and steady.
Herbs: All are good.
Leeks and garlic are up and growing nicely.
Kale: Those grown from seeds are slowly maturing. The bought Lacinto is giving us a steady supply, thanks.
Butternut squash needs to be eaten. So I'll make a soup here soon!
The canned green beans and potatoes give us a break from the brassicas. Yay!
