The Garden Chronicles - October 4, 2009

The garden is close to its end for the year. The only large-scale remaining items are more raspberries and carrots that have been growing since May and June. The kohlrabi are still producing, too, but are too small to harvest. Perhaps if there is more rain, they may get bigger. There is also another row of beans just beginning to flower now. It is risky now because we may get a frost soon.

This pot basil got a good start outside, growing in the middle of the flower plot, but now it is ready to produce indoors all winter for us in this neat clay pot.

This lettuce and beet greens look as thought they need more sun, and they do - We had five straight days of no sunshine last week. Perhaps tomorrow they will perk up if the sun is out.
