Well, it has been abnormally cool and very wet over the past 3 weeks. I just had the first hard freeze of the fall season about 4 days ago. My first frost was about 2 1/2 weeks ago. All of the warm season crops have been pulled up since they were finished growing. My later summer planted green beans grew pretty well this fall and I was pleased with the harvest. I just harvested my first head of fall broccoli about one week ago, with about four more heads still maturing. I also harvested two heads of cabbage about 5 days ago. I have not harvested any of my late summer planted cauliflower, but some of the heads are starting to get some size to them. I probably will not harvest any of these for another 2 weeks or so. I also continue to harvest lettuce and celery. My hoops over my two carrot plots seems to be working out well again this year. The carrots under these hoops are finally getting some size to them. I will be planting my dried walking onion tops today for harvest next spring and summer. I will start harvesting my brussel sprouts within the next week or so. The growing season is fast approaching the end.
