A couple of pumpkin plants are still hanging on for dear life, still plagued by powdery mildew. I've picked all the pumpkins except one that still remains on the vine.
As you can see, the tomatoes are also hanging on for dear life too. In total we got 11 pumpkins from the patch... not bad for the first time ever growing them. Remarkably, my pole beans are still alive. Today I picked this monster green bean. its the biggest green bean I've ever seen.
The cool weather crops are doing awesome. My cabbage plants are so pretty. They've been pretty easy to grow, and haven't had any problems with pests so far. Here is the biggest one, which we'll probably pick next week to eat:
There are a bunch of smaller plants next to it. Hopefully once I pick the big one, the others will have more space to mature, and grow more.
Below are more pics of the garden. As you can see there is a bit of the pumpkin vine still alive there on the bottom. We've harvested a lot of turnips greens and turnip roots already, and still have a lot left. Behind them are the collards, and to their right are the broccoli plants There is some spinach in there too, above the turnips. They are looking pretty good, but getting shaded a lot by the turnips and collards around them that are getting pretty big.
Today was very warm for December. It hit 80 ! Hope it doesn't cause my spinach to bolt!
Its supposed to stay warm next week to, in the mid 70's. Perfect weather but still extremely dry, as it has not rained for over a month.
Beautiful garden! Great blog. That is definitely the largest green bean I have ever seen. How was it? Looks delicious. Thanks.
