    By me!! Warm weather is coming to an end and our first Freeze Warning has just been issued for tonight.

    Delicious Turnip Greens 1 Wen's Square Foot Garden garden
    Yummo! A nice picking of turnip greens this morning. Probably 2 tight handfuls. I’ll put them in the frig to wait for more to add to them in a couple days then I’ll stew them up and put on a big pone of cornbread. Oh they are so tender and delicious. Perhaps just a few for a salad to...

    Okra!!! Are you flipping kidding me?!?! 7 1 Wen's Square Foot Garden garden
    Are you kidding me?!?! I planted okra in the spring, but between the monster squash and tomato jungle, the okra just couldn’t do its thing. So I pulled it up long ago and replanted it with greens for fall. Well. Apparently there was one very determined okra plant hiding out under the tomat...

    First handful: Sugar Snap Peas 1 1 Super Sugar Snap Harvesting and Back Fence Garden garden
    It was a perfectly dreary weekend here, 3 major low systems collided. A nor’easter out on the Jersey coast, the non-named sub-tropical system that no one wanted to admit could have been named, and rain bands from the storm previously known as Kyle all converged over my house this weekend. ...

    First Handful: Royalty Purple Beans 3 Royalty Purple Bush Beans Harvesting and Wen's Square Foot Garden garden
    What a joy these beans have been to watch grow. Gorgeous in their own right as a plant, with an edible to boot! I just came in from picking my first handful of beans. All 6 that I originally planted are producing quite well. We’ll have a couple weeks of beans to add into meals. This handfu...

    Drying Tomatoes 3 8 Wen's Square Foot Garden garden
    With salsa canned and plenty of sauce in the freezer I decided to try drying tomatoes in the dehydrator. My friend just did a huge batch of her italian tomatoes after filling every single jar she owned with sauce and STILL having tomatoes coming out her ears. She has had great success with it in...
