Today we had beautiful weather here in Colorado, so I decided to take advantage of the sunshine and do some harvesting in the garden! (I'll be working in the garden tomorrow too to finish cleaning up last years plants, harvesting and turning compost, etc.)
Here's what I got:
 |
| greens! top left is turnip greens, bottom middle is swiss chard, right is curly kale. this is the end of my turnips and probably the last of the chard (I had to dig around to find nice leaves not affected by hard frosts!), but there is PLENTY more kale! |
 |
| Carrots! I am so proud of my carrots this year, I had so much more success than last year! This is the last of the carrot patch. |
 |
| Kohlrabi on the left, beets on the right, and one onion in the middle. I love how the beets are cute and small--bite sized! Really it would be nice if they were bigger though, I think I forgot to thin them, they were all growing together :-(. This is the last of the beets and kohlrabi, but there are plenty more onions. |
 |
| Turnips! This is the last of the turnips. I picked these then realized I still have a big bag of turnips in the fridge from one of the last CSAs.....oops! Guess I'll be having lots of turnips this week! |
 |
| This is my biggest turnip--I wanted to hold it in my hand for scale. It's HUGE!! And of course it was even bigger before I chopped off the top and bottom in the cleaning process. I have been watching this sucker all summer, it's so nice to pick it! |
Some things I didn't pick that are still surviving in my veggie garden include 2 stalks of brussel sprouts (one stalk has tiny sprouts though, not sure it's even worth harvesting), onions, a couple more kohlrabis, mint, and lavendar.
Are any of you still harvesting? Are you getting anything different than what I have?

Great harvest! We just pulled out the last of our carrots, one of our brussels sprouts, some lettuce, and some green onions. We'll see how long we can keep making little harvests, too!
Good work! No, I am not still harvesting... I never started harvesting... I don't think I've actually ever harvested anything... This is all very foreign to me, so I'm extra impressed by your efforts!
