Fall Garden

Here is our garden from the east side

Here's the shot from the west side

close up on the napa cabbage bed, the frilly stuff is hairy vetch(green manure) tiny sprouts are more napa cabbage planted later. We're trying out the "let's see how many napa cabbage plants we can squeeze in?" method. Of course we'll be thinning out as we go.

red leaf and romaine Lettuce sprouting

the newest member of our garden: the Chaya plant. known to be more nutritious than spinach and touted to cure diabetes! But must be cooked well(20 min) to nullify the oxalic acid which is toxic to us.(sun oven would be perfect for this) It's supposed to be disease/pest free. Only negative: frost sensitive.

late cucumbers doing well

The last tomato plant in our garden, actually doing very well without disease and in a pot!(15 gal)

Loquat tree blossoming slightly earlier than normal

Peppers growing decently

British Wonder Shelling Peas are growing OK. I was disappointed with the germination percentage. I'd say only 40% came up
