Beets!

I picked the rest of the beets on Saturday...I'll probably have enough for a couple of pints of pickled beets.

I ate a green bean from the planting in August. There are lots of blooms so I could have some beans if it stays warm enough. 10 day forecast is pretty warm, but there is lots of rain possible.

Used tomatoes in chickpea cauliflower curry yesterday. Have some more yellow ones that we can pick if we want to eat some.

Didn't have too many tomatoes to put up that were not given to us, but had enough to definitely eat and use for every day cooking where I would have used a can of them.

Still picking brocolli and tomatoes

This morning I picked some broccoli and three red tomatoes. Still to harvest - Brussels Sprouts and tomatillos.


The green beans that were planted in August are flowering nicely. I'm sure that the water earlier in the week and the rain today will help a lot.

The beets really need to be picked.

I harvested the black beans and after shelling them have about a cup of them.

I bought two containers of flowers from Lowe's for .25 each and they seem to be surviving.

Mums are blooming.
