Here's my first harvest in a very long time. This kohlrabi went through the Carr Fire, so it may not be fit to eat, but I'm gonna give it a try.

A survivor! I hope it tastes good.

That Kohlrabi looks pretty healthy to me!

I've never tried this veggie before; what does it taste like? I assume it's a brassica?

First winter harvest: Swiss chard, kale and lettuce. They are all under bridal tulle so no little green caterpillars to deal with. Lettuce all washed and loosely bag. Kale washed, de-veined and rolled in tubes in the freezer for slicing for juicing. Swiss chard all washed and prepped for sauteing.

They taste like mild turnips! Better late than never! I grow a purple variety, and they are really pretty too!

The "white" peppers are actually light yellow. They must have been in one of my bell pepper packs of seeds because I did not buy any of these. They are called Slovano Peppers. Here is a description of the peppers.

Today's Harvest - Page 9 Slovana-sweet-pepper

Sweet Pepper ‘Slovana Hybrid’

"A ‘Slovana’ Pepper plant produces a nonstop summer harvest of tasty, neon-golden sweet peppers. This new variety is a compact grower. (The plants are just 17-26 inches tall, so they fit nicely into even the smallest garden spaces. ‘Slovana’ Pepper also grows well in containers.)
A ripe ‘Slovana’ pepper is 6 inches long and 2 inches wide that starts out light green in color but matures to a handsome pale yellow. The 4½-ounce fruits boast a rich pepper flavor with a delicate sweetness that’s delicious both fresh or roasted."

My plants were bigger than the above description and they did keep producing all summer. They are still pumping out peppers.

Yolos, a great late harvest.

Not a bountiful harvest, and the pumpkin was two weeks late for Halloween, but a good learning exercise. Now what to put in the vacated squares?

Winter starts tomorrow, so I picked the last of the summer crops, today.

2 green peppers, at least 5 kinds of tomatoes -- large and small, a few more Lima beans, volunteer cuke, last 2 lemon cukes. Scales quit working, but it felt like about 5 lbs of produce. I am a happy camper. happy turtle

**donnainzone5** 11/25/2019, 6:31 pm

I'm impressed, but jealous!

**Scorpio Rising** 11/25/2019, 7:18 pm

Gorgeous! Yum!

countrynaturals 11/25/2019, 8:15 pm
