Sunday Garden Harvest

The garden was hit by a hard frost this week! Temps at my house dropped down to 26 degrees. I covered the tomatoes...but, everything else suffered significant damage. 

So, today was spent cleaning out the garden, saving seeds, and harvesting what could be saved.

Not much is left in the garden... 

Calypso Beans are still trying to finish drying on the bush, there is still a row of carrots for winter harvest, lots of green tomatoes on the vines, and the zucchini is hanging on by a thread.

There are still blossoms and a couple little zuckes on the plant.

All the leaves were blackened by frost and have been cleared away....

I'm not sure how much more I will get out of this poor little thing!

I was happy to get the potatoes harvested a little earlier this year, as well!

With garden clean up almost done...It's time to start planting a few things in the cold frames.

August

August has been unpredictable...wet...wild...and windy, with a lot of crazy lightening and thunder booms.

Through it all, my little garden has hung right in there!

Loving this shot from the upper garden...Carrots, Onions, Pumpkins, Corn, and Beans are doing pretty good.

All of our Cabbage has been begrudgingly  donated to feeding our local deer population. 

Sadly this is not the year of Cabbage at the Cedar House (((arghhhhhh))1st planting was lost to gophers, 2nd round planting has all gone to the deer...

I guess...You win some and you loose some!

On a happy note, Onions are big enough to start harvesting.

The Zucchini is plentiful, and our trusted zucchini bread recipe never disappoints.
