Harvesting Fall Vegetables

October 6, 2009

Here's a quick update on what I'm harvesting from my fall garden right now.

Swiss chard I planted from seed is big enough now to harvest. The sorrel is going strong and has put on lots of new growth with all this rain. Cool season herbs like dill are kicking into gear. Lots of peppers coming right now and a few more eggplant. Some wax beans are ripening as well. Basil is still going strong. And I scored four eggs yesterday. Haven't gone out to check on today's nests. The color didn't translate in the photo well, but there are two green eggs, one blue and one white.
