Great Fall Harvest Continues, It Finally Rained!!!!

The excellent fall harvest continues. The first heads of broccoli were harvested on October 2nd and a lot of the broccoli continues to be harvested as it matures. The brussels sprouts continue to grow and it now looks like I will have a pretty decent harvest when the time comes to pick them off of the stalks. The first of the cabbage is almost ready to harvest as well as the kohlrabi. I like to keep kohlrabi in the fall garden as long as possible as it gets sweeter with a few frosts. The cauliflower continues to head up, so I started to tie up the outer leaves of plants to keep the heads white. The garden did experience two lite frosts about five days ago, but it did not do much damage, even to the warm season plants. I finally received some much needed rain over the last week or so!!!! The last of the green beans were harvested about four days ago. Limited harvest still continues on the peppers and tomatoes, but their days are numbered. Harvest still continues on the lettuce and the celery, with more to come. The late July planted carrots are just getting to harvestable size, so I might be pulling a few of those within the next week or so. Overall, I have been very pleased with the production of the fall vegetable garden this year.
