We wrote about eating seasonally a few years ago, more from the psychological side than what was actually available to enjoy.
So here’s a look at what is growing in a northeast garden this far into the fall season:
- In the picture you can see kale, kohlrabi, leeks, and a few different carrots.
- There are also some beets, radishes, and a wee bit of broccoli raab still growing happily in raised beds. We even have some popcorn and dry beans ready to be brought inside.
- In the little unheated greenhouse we have cucumbers, snow peas, dill, celery, and spinach.
- Soon there will also be more radishes, turnips, carrots and lettuce to enjoy.
- In the house you will find fresh basil, the last of the apples, a few tomatoes ripening on the shelf, and a couple more on a plant we brought indoors.
Of course in the cold holding closet (think root cellar) there are a number of winter squashes, onions and potatoes.
Add in our fresh chicken eggs and it’s not bad eating for a chilly fall day, especially when you consider the fact that we have been below freezing a number of times already.
And it doesn’t stop there either.
In preparation for the winter we have already started seeds indoors for tomatoes, fresh greens and more herbs, peppers and eggplant.
The only real down time is the dead of winter, and even then we will have what is in the cold holding and what we dried, canned or froze plus whatever has survived in the greenhouse and what is producing in the back spare room.
So you see, even though our garden will soon be covered in snow, it doesn’t all end there.
Fortunately.
