Garden Gleaning
OK. It will be in the 30s tonight. I’m potting up a few plants to bring indoors and picking everything that’s left in the garden. I considered covering the peas because they are still blooming, but they say 3 nights of temps into the 20s, so I will use my time doing something else.
Every baby snow pea and baby green bean is picked, and lots of tomatoes, too. I’ll bring in the half ripe tomatoes along with some green ones and let them ripen in the pantry. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s always worth a shot. I make a relish I call End of Garden Relish where I basically grind up green tomatoes and anything else that is left in the garden, then cook it in a sweet vinegar sauce and can it. Onions, green and red sweet peppers, celery, carrots, zucchini, corn, it all can go in. If I don’t have fresh carrots, I’ll use some from the grocery. I like to have a nice blend of colors. If I make a batch tomorrow, I’ll take some pictures.
This is some of the last of the 2008 garden.
Fall kale will withstand light freezes, but I’ll cut this now and get some mulch on the plants. Chances are it will be green and have some leaves before I can even get the earliest spinach or pea seeds planted next spring. Kale is my favorite cut-and-come-again vegetable.
