The very last summer plants that I harvest last are carrots.\u00a0 They have been in the ground the entire summer and most of the Fall.\u00a0 I like to leave them in the ground because the ground makes for a good storage area.<\/p>\n

I have been picking some cabbage lately and a few more pieces of broccoli.\u00a0 All I have left are a couple of cabbage plants and whatever broccoli I get from now until the ground freezes.<\/p>\n

This year was a good year for carrots and I think I made up from last season <\/a>with very few carrots.\u00a0 I am glad that this season I planted two full rows of seeds.\u00a0 Since most of them sprouted this year it made it a good sign that I would have plenty of carrots.<\/p>\n

I was able to collect three full buckets of carrots this year while last season I don’t think I filled one.\u00a0 They are a good size this year and it will take a while to eat them all.\u00a0 Luckily I will can them and save most of them for the Winter.<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Three<\/a><\/p>\n

I would say that this year was a good year for carrots.\u00a0 Next year I might grow a different variety of carrots, but I won’t know until the month of January.<\/p>\n

On a side note I have been picking some more cabbage that was ready for harvesting.\u00a0 I actually picked one of the best ones in the garden last week.\u00a0 It actually hadn’t been severely damaged by imported cabbage worms.<\/p>\n

\"Cabbage<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Cabbage<\/a><\/p>\n

At the moment I am just continuing to pick whatever happens to need harvesting.\u00a0 This would include the last couple of cabbage heads as well as broccoli and possibly kale leaves.<\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving to All!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
