But what about all the rest of us that are ekeing out the end of the season? What are you still eating from your garden?I harvested a whole salad's worth of baby greens (mixed lettuces and spinach) from my "fall crop" last night. Made my favorite bean cheesy chard recipe with the swiss chard that was spring planted and is still producing more chard than we can keep up with.
I had stripped off all but the smallest tomatoes to ripen indoors a couple weeks ago. I was surprised to discover yesterday, a half dozen more tomatoes had developed to pickable size, in a range from mostly green to mostly ripe. We've had at least a couple frosts since I picked off all the tomatoes earlier, so I thought the tomatoes would be totally done.
Otherwise, not much left in the garden except herbs, still have plenty of those. And still tons of flowers. I brought in two big bouquets of fall flowers for the table, mostly mums, with beautyberry berries, pink muhly grass seed heads, black-eyed susan seed heads, etc.
