The cabbage and kale have been nibbled by caterpillars, but I guarantee you that they will still taste wonderful.
The artichokes are looking good. Wire fencing will act as a support for row cover fabric if temperatures drop into the 20's.
Freezing temperatures improve the flavor of rutabaga. This year's freezes have been few and far between, but a couple of freezing nights was enough to do the trick. The rutabaga are fabulous.
Here's a nice surprise. I think I see enough Brussels sprouts for dinner. Pan sauteed with a little garlic and olive oil... yum.
Tonight's harvest of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and rutabaga will make a tasty meal.
Wow! Your garden is doing really well.
ReplyDeleteI had some pumpkins come up in the compost bed once. But, since it's out in the deer infested area, they ate them. Potatoes don't have a chance to come up.
But, I guess everybody needs something to eat.
I need to go check my Brussels spouts...there could be some hiding under the leaves.
I usually don't get Brussels sprouts till closer to spring. I was delighted to find them. Surprisely, some of the sprouts had completely opened. That was something new for me. I don't recall seeing that in the past. Must be all this warm weather.
DeleteYour veggie garden looks amazing!! I've always wanted to grow artichokes. I just love the look of them and to eat them as well:)
ReplyDeleteA steamed artichoke with butter and lemon juice is a beautiful thing. I'm already getting hungry.
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive winter crop . I only once grew bs and was horrified when the harlequin bug made a bee line for the crop.maybe I should try again.
ReplyDeleteThe harlequin bugs come to my garden when the weather warms in the springs. The trick is to have everything harvested by then, and be ready to toss the plants into the compost.
