Garden goodbyes

While the flowers are still going strong, things are drawing closed in the veg beds.

I’m still pulling carrots – I’ve got about 1/4 of the bed left..

The first few years I grew carrots, all were pretty long and straight. I don’t know if it’s the lack of rain this year but…

We’ve started to get some rather interesting ones.

Throught this last week I’ve harvested a lot of the last bits of veg

I picked the last pepper. None of them got any bigger than that, but Dave said they tasted great. On the right is the ONLY zucchini I got. I kept waiting for it to get a little bigger, but it never did so I picked it.

This year wasn’t the best in the garden – probably due to the drier-than-normal summer. I could have watered more, but I guess I was just too used to the beds taking care of themselves in previous years.

Next weekend I’ll be pulling out old plants and wrapping most of it up for the coming winter. I’ll do a proper wrap up post then

  1. I peeled a ridiculous amount of organic carrots this weekend and I have to say the quality was not unlike the one you are showing. I missed the Farmer’s Market this week because of our reunion and going a week without decent produce is not making me happy. We have just a few weeks before it’s all over for the year and I’ll have to go back to buying the poor quality stuff the shops offer.
