Happy Cabbage

It has been awhile since my last post.  This is partly due to the garden being an uneventful place while the fall plants slowly grow (or get eaten), but it is also because I’ve spent the last 3 months making this baby blanket for my fabulous friend Christina!

 

Now I can turn my attention back to the garden.  Some of our beans have dried enough to bring them inside.  I can’t wait to try cooking them.  The kale is big enough to be used, but I’m waiting on the cabbage and cauliflower to do anything worth while.  My biggest worry is the Brussels sprouts that are wilting.  Not sure if they will make it.

                

 

The past couple weekends were taken up by weddings which left our garden to its own devices.  We’ve now taken out most of the summer crops and have added in cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale.  It is a good feeling to start fresh.

 

To our surprise a squash was waiting for us this morning.  This is the only squash that made it to maturity.  I’ve always heard that gardeners end up with more squash than they know what to do with, so our squash-less predicament was a bit embarrassing…

Our green beans are still at it.  We’ve had a few meals with fresh green beans and now we plan to let the rest dry out to save for later use.
