Last Garden Haul

Over the weekend freezing temps were expected, so after my day of subbing on Friday, I did a last sweep of the garden for everything I thought would freeze. The cabbages filled the wagon, but a lot of it is air space from the leaves. The actual heads are pretty small, and a lot of the pieces will end up going to the goats.

Calendula, still going strong even through frost! I clipped them at the base so I could go through and collect the flower buds later.

Our celery didn't amount to much this year (right). Good supply of oregano (left). 

I spread the oregano out to dry on an old screen. As you can see, we finally dug our garlic. 🤦‍♀️ Better harvest than last year, still not as big of heads as I'd like. 

I collected some carrot tops and lettuce/greens. Most of those were too leggy for us to eat, but the goats enjoyed them! The carrots are left in the ground. They'll be okay in there until the ground freezes. Surprisingly, the remaining tops are still green, even after a night in the 20s!

The brussel sprouts had just begun to form on their stalks. I had planned to shave them off for us to eat, but they were so small G didn't notice them and he fed them to the goats before I could process them.

We actually got a couple of teeny broccoli! 

I'm about ready to give up trying to grow them. They have gone leggy on me both years I've grown them. One more year. I'll research over winter for broccoli growing tips.
