Things are really changing in the vegetable patch these days. The broccoli is all done, and I pulled up the one plant I let go to seed and am hanging it upside down right now to dry the seed pods. I pulled out the rest and put them in the compost.
I harvested some of the beets too. I don't really know when they need to come out, but the greens have been turning brown in patches, and I love eating them so thought I should pull some out while they're still good. I don't have anything to do with the rest of the beets yet, so thought I might as well leave them in for now? Do I need to pull them out before it frosts?
I've been gradually pulling up carrots here and there, and thought I'd pull a few more earlier this week. Eek! I pulled up a few that look like this, and figured I should get them all out of the ground asap. (Why do they split like this?)
