Fall Harvest

Kohlrabi is not a household name but this variation on broccoli wins favorite brassica of the year.  Each plant weighs 5 + pounds and produces sweet and tender flesh all winter.

Rutabaga will be one of the biggest producers this year.  They can overwinter and each plant can supply many meals-worth of food.

We eventually harvested 5+ edible watermelons.  The trick is to wait for the closest tendril to die for optimum ripeness.

The summer squash produced for nearly 3 months and overwhelmed us with zucchini!

We had a hard time keeping up with the eggplant.  Such a beautiful plant.

This was one of several basil harvests.  We made great eggplant Thai basil dishes all summer.

Our first cabbage of the year in all its glory!

Tomatoes and green beans kept us on our toes too!

The carrots didn't come until fall but they will continue to feed us all winter and into the spring.

Our first few waves of broccoli were amazing.  We resorted to freezing half of it for savory winter soups yum!

Butternut and delicata winter squash will be a tasty winter staple this year!

We planted edamame (soybeans) as an experiment.  Success!
