Woo-hoo Kassaundra! How fun to sneak in some extra long harvesting!

We've had a slight "warm up", going to hit a possible 40* today and the snow has gone from almost a foot and a half to a few inches, so I'm going to try to wrestle a little horse radish out of the barrel it's growing in and use some with tonight's roast.
This is my first experience growing and using it so we'll see how it goes.

Do you usually harvest that much in November? Or is this an unusual year for you?

Partly it is what I am harvesting (at least the root crop and coles) but I have been very lucky this year weatherwise, even others in my area have had total garden damage from cold, my area just missed several cold snaps. But I was hit last night, so no more tomatoes, or squash, or bok choy, chard. I haven't been able to see the garden today so I don't know how the greens and roots did over night, I won't be able to see them until tomorrow. (b/c of my work schedule)

I am the only one I know in this area that is still harvesting.

I think we earned it after our summer inferno!

Nice but you live in a warm climate right? did you do a spring then a fall garden?

I live in east central (zone 7b), so we have HOT summers, but we have cold winters w/ ice and snow (but not all winter) when we get ice and snow it generally only lasts for a few days, but sometimes a few weeks then it melts away. We get that several times in a winter. This year I really lucked out my garden lasted much longer then anyone else I know. It may partly have been what I planted, but probably location too (I live on top of a hill) Yes I am trying to garden though as much of the year as I can, winter still has me stumped for easy affordable gardening, but luckily our winter season isn't to long, I can start planting again in late Feb or early March the cold crops. And as of right now I still have root crops to harvest and some hardy greens and coles so my actual garden down time will only be a month or month and a half or so.

Nice!!

Just thought I'd share a pic of today's harvest. Still no tomatoes, so far this year I have only got a couple of tiny ones (like less then 10) off of 40 plants.

I'm still harvesting squash both zuch and pattypan, and just started getting spaghetti squash, cukes, okra, hot peppers and radish.

I still have greens, carrots, radish, turnips, and beets, and broccoli. It's crazy in a great way!

Healthy looking veggies, Kassaundra! (including the Spaghetti Squash with the smile .)

And, how about all that okra! Other than as a flavoring for soup, I wouldn't know what to do with it .

Way Off Topic: Do know anything about Pushmataha County? Dad was born there and it kind of seems you said your father was from about the same part of the state.

Love the gardens in your home page..
