The beets are popping out of the dirt. Think they want to be picked?
Giant pumpkins grew from last year's seeds thrown in the compost pile (as they usually will). Pumpking carving fun is ahead.
We planted more lettuce to use at the end of the summer, there is also arugula growing (another salad leaf), rutabegas and turnips are to the left and just about ready...
The sunflower seeds have been harvested. Right now they are drying. There is a bit of work ahead to soak them, salt them and roast them before eating them :) Some seeds aren't worth the bother and we will use them for bird seed.
What do you do with Kohlorabi? Salads and stirfries... This is a new vegetable for both of us this year - we are still trying to find the perfect recipe.
Beans of all colors. I harvested the dry and overripe beans before pulling the decaying plants out of the ground to compost. The bean in side the pod are great to use to make soups or chilli. We made a great batch of chilli with a bunch of beans harvested a couple weeks ago - with other garden veggies. The only ingredient we used that wasn't local was 'chilli powder'...but its not really chilli without it :)
