Late season harvest

[catjac1975]

I know you Southern gardeners will see nothing special about this post, but I ate lettuce straight from the garden today. Massachusetts. Zone 6. Should have had a freeze by now. Snow tomorrow about an hour from here but we will get rain. I still have herbs tolerant to the cold, potatoes, carrots and brussels sprouts. But, the lettuce is a real coup.

Yum!

Today I noticed I still have parsley, lettuce, mustard, and a few other herbs. Getting colder tonight, so that may do them in. Under my low hoop, I have lots of mustard-----well, comparatively lots. I cut some a couple days ago and we had it for supper last night, cooked with bacon and onions. So good.

Nice! I am hoping this prolonged fall means winter won't be so awful...

We took everything off the garden and dug root crops. Fall has fallen way to winter COLD / 14 degrees with high of 21 yesterday. Looks cold, very cold, for the next 10 days.

Yeah it's supposed to be a cold winter from what I've heard. I don't know if we'll get the record snow falls we saw like last year but I'm ok with a cold winter.

So long as we actually get a SUMMER in 2015! I was more disappointed by a serious lack of summer in 2014 than I'm bothered by an extra cold winter.

I don't even have lettuce planted yet. You should be proud of your harvest! We've skipped Fall, too. It was 83 a couple days ago, and now down to 27. Leaves are still on the trees so I didn't have any to cover the perennials with. Harvested the last of the beans and picked chili pequins yesterday.

That is some bodacious lettuce. I don't even have a fall garden this year because of the move, so I have to live vicariously through the rest of you for my fall fix.
