Winter garden
Have seen several comments on winter and the end to the garden. Not to make anyone feel bad or anything like that but I just finished setting out my winter garden today. Not doing as much this year as last but still put out cabbage, broccoli,culiflower, brussel spouts and carrots. When they get going I'll post some pics.

My winter garden was planted in May/June. I'm just harvesting the Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Curly Kale now. The Red Cabbage looks like a write-off. No good harvesting winter greens over here til the frost has had a go at them, takes away the bitterness.

i just covered my canna lilys and some of the smaller onions, and cut the bannanas root ball off to replant it.one i find another im gunna try cultivating passionfruit again, but i wont hold my hopes on a cloud again soo
It bothers me how someone with new shoes can come up to me asking for money.
Passion fruit, Bananas?
It was 29 degrees this am when I rose. All the oranges and grapefruit were in cans as frozen concentrate.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

This week, we have highs in the 90s. Yikes!
The tomatoes are just now coming back to life, and blooming.Might get a few, before it gets cold.
Melons are still producing, but more slowly. The peppers and swiss chard are going nuts.
The artichoke is looking a lot livlier. Lettuce, carrots, bok choy, radishes just coming up.
Well, I guessing we have just dated our selves, LOL.
Tried the snow-blower in the garden once to get at the parsnips and such, threw all the mulch over the fence........don't do that anymore.....I don't know, neighbor was hollering about something?........

Was up north in Iowa last week for a wedding so know what the northerners are talking about. Rain and some really tuff wind for most of three days and a couple nights in the 20's. Sure was glad to get back home. Got 3" of rain here last night and a bit of hail but not enough to beat the plants down, thank goodness. Hunter. I let the winter garden do it's own thing while I do my thing out in the timber. Went out this morning looking for deer but ended up getting a hog. (about 125#) also later in the morning I was able to put 4 nice fat bushy tails in the bag so had a pretty good day. Have a good one all.

Remember those peppers I mentioned? Well, I harvested one kind today, and cut the plants down to nubs for the winter -- the Numex Sandias.

They look yummy! It's too cold to grow peppers outside here.

Oh man! You gonna mix them with greens? salsa? stuffed with cheese and bacon? mix into a fine sauce with some of that vinegar you made? Dry and grind?
Nice haul!!

I'm not sure. I'm thinking I might just fire roast them and freeze them in small batches, so I can use them at my leisure.
Some I think I will cut into rings and pickle. Some I will dry.
Next, I'll be harvesting a huge batch of thai dragon chiles. They are small, but potent. With those, I plan on making a fermented hot sauce... kinda like Tabasco.
I ended up just pickling them all.

Never claimed to be an expert. Just use or do what works for me.
I could put hot peppers on just about everything but my breakfast cereal!
Actually, about half of these will find their way into the boxes of homemade goodies that I put together for my family for Christmas.
