It's all Green

written by Yvonne

Tom got beds 2 and 3 buttoned up for winter.  As of now, these are the only beds we have planted.


This bed is all lettuce and spinach and it's coming along fine.


The kale has been producing like crazy. Now that we have greens coming in on a regular basis, we've gone back to using them in our smoothies every morning (vs. frozen greens).


Beets are doing well...


as are the collards.


So much for late-season tomatoes. Only took one cold snap and they bit the dust.


We went through the plants and pull off as many green tomatoes as we could.


Then we lined them up on our window sills and on the ledge between the two parts of the windows so they would hopefully ripen.


They are everywhere!  The lined-up tomatoes look like soldiers protecting the house from outside invasion.


The last batch of peppers for the year.  I sliced all these up and froze them to use throughout the winter.
