Sweet harvest; what a bounty of fresh vegetables! That beautiful red leaf plant is a type of calaloo or Amaranth; the seeds are protein and iron-rich. The leaves are nutrient-packed and I know that Garden City likes to cook them up in an omelet. What, no more KALE??!!! Heaven forbid! I would say let it stay for later in the winter. Believe me, you WILL be craving some home-grown fresh greens in the middle of January. Also, the flavor of most brassicas is greatly improved and sweetened by frost. Nothing like a nice pot of home-grown collards and kale at the Thanksgiving meal. Just sayin'... Yay. composting in place! that's awesome--nothing goes to waste! Keep it up, girl! Blessings.
LOL!!! I should have checked my messages before I got to pulling!!! I just remembered one of your cooking videos when you picked something after the frost hit it and I wanted mouth started watering. I'll be sure to do it next year!!!
Janie2Shoes, I'm with you on the amount of work that needs to be done before winter. I hope I get at least 3 more good weeks of growing weather before I have to close up shop. Thanks for swinging by.
Fabulous garden!! Thanks so much for the tour. So nice to have a little helper. Curious why you said you’re done with kale and Swiss chard? We subbed and look forward to more! Kathie
Your garden looks great and is still producing tons of veggies! I left a couple of tomatoes plants to do their own thing and they are producing more fruit than the plants I prune. Go figure... Happy Gardening! :) Peaches
lovers4healthylife, I'm a little intimidated by the size of tomato plants and may have to look up pruning methods. I only pruned the lower branches for air flow and left everything else alone.
Your garden looks beautiful!! I want to get a dehydrator for our herbs. I keep saying that I'm going to do it, but I haven't yet. I'd love to have some basil and sage saved up to use during the winter. We're like you, we eat more of our sugar snaps standing in the yard than in a meal. Thanks!! -Lea
I vote that you get a dehydrator as soon as you can!! We are still enjoying the herbs from the garden and I love it!! Thanks for stopping by!! Stay well!!! - Nika
I wish my tomatoes looked like that my first year. You'll get the idea of tying them up or doing like praxxus does he lets them grow how they do natively with no issues. How fid that tiger melon taste? I want to grow those.
DevaJones03 I'll have to do something because the tomatoes are out of control!! If you want tiger melon seeds, let me know, I'll send you some. I think they tastes like a honeydew and a cantaloupe had a baby.
Life gets busy and when your not looking youtube gets rid of the video editing software!!! LOL!! I've since learned not to complain now that everything is under a 100 ft of snow!! LOL!! I miss having fresh kale and chard!! Stay well!!
Got to love having a little helper. Cherish those moments.
Loving every moment of it!!! It's amazing how fast time flies... I'm holding on to every moment. Thanks for stopping by and stay well.

Oh that garden looks good after so much cold now covering America.
Yeah it does!!! Now it's under several feet of snow!! :-(
Your garden is still doing great !!! Mine is about done and to tell the truth I am glad because I have a lot to do before winter is here.

A+ on effort! Nice garden and enjoy your bounty!
Sand Hollow Homestead, thank you! I'm enjoying the bounty immensely!
u can use all your green waste to compost on the area you were going to till ..if u put fencing around that area it will be easy beezee
IslandZsurvivor that's a wonderful idea!! I'll try to do that!
hope it works well for you

Back2myroots Homestead yes please! Lol My tomatoes are currently a jungle as well. I've just relented in trying to control them.
Looks like a great problem to have so much kale and swiss chard... Catching up on everyone videos... life gets busy... T

Hi! Do you still garden?
Yes, but this year I'm overseeing the husband since he thought it was so easy.. How is your garden going?
