Though the tomatoes and peppers and melon are proceed , and the gloriously abundant roots of summer are now stored in the clay room , there is still solid food in the garden .
At this time of year we ’re harvesting the daikons , pak choi , mustard greens and mizuna we plant two month ago .
We ’re also get in wild marjoram and rosemary , as well as the African profane Basil of Caesarea which somehow managed to dodge the first frost of the yr .
We planted an assortment of brassicas in the two psychometric test beds we used to see if mimosa leaves could be used as a plant food , and those have been bringing us a consistent provision of greens . Some of them are rutabagas , which I did n’t even commemorate I had embed , so I ’ll probably thin some of the greens around them to give them more quad to spring up . If the weather stay mild enough , we could have greens and radishes all wintertime , yet that seldom go on here . Though our winters are n’t harsh by northerly standards , they do swing out erratically in temperature . We ’ll get 80 - degree weather condition for a week followed by an nightlong plunge into the low 20 ’s . That wreaks mayhem on flora .
It ’s rather consanguineal to being on the beach in your bathing suit of clothes , then get a snowstorm party whip through .
This is what AI thinks that would look like :
We ca n’t take that form of a temperature swing , and neither can the plants .
This is why we buy parsimoniousness memory board sheets and cover and cover our run-in on rimy nights . Though some of these super acid are known to wield cold weather , they often do n’t adjust well to it since it ’s usually warm before turning cool .
The honey oil and herbs we picked this morning will be sautéed with scrambled eggs and bacon . We ’re also fermenting Raphanus sativus longipinnatus and serving them as a side with breakfast .
In the summer , we enjoy interminable cucumbers and melon . Now we savor rich and delicious greens .
The seasons are a benediction . Just about the time you get tire with something , it finishes and a newfangled crop start .
We only planted a few beds of greens , but they ’re more than enough to keep us from buying any veggie . We still have months of pumpkins and sweet potatoes to feed , not to mention all the yams we ’ve not yet jab !
Rachel just texted to severalise me breakfast is ready … but before I run , did anyone else constitute a fall garden ?
