Garden B

The garden harvests are winding down.  We harvested the last of our tomatoes, peppers, and beans and took them down for the season.  I pruned our raspberry bushes back, getting ready for winter.

We still have Kale, Swiss Chard, broccoli, carrots, turnips, cilantro, brussel sprouts, and cabbage. I found we had cilantro recently.  I thought none of the seeds from the second planting I did worked but it was just hiding!  I have determined that cilantro should be planted twice just like sugar peas, since it bolts to quickly in heat. The brussel sprouts still haven't matured, hopefully they will soon.
