There are still a few things left to harvest from the 2012 garden. The carrots are lovely, and I'll be watching the forecast for freezing temperatures so I can toss some bags of leaves over the rows for insulation from the cold. The cabbages are small and suffering from insect damage, but at least one was nearly a pound in weight after the outer leaves were removed. It doesn't look as though the earlier freeze bothered them at all, so I really need to get them all harvested soon.

Today's harvest of a 15.6 ounce cabbage and 14.7 ounces of carrots puts my total for the year at 1033 pounds.
May you all have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. We're going to the youngest daughter's for Thanksgiving dinner, so I'll have a restful day (I get to do Christmas). All I have to take are a butternut squash casserole, two pumpkin pies and whipped cream. Everything except the squash is all ready to go.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too Granny! I just finished baking my last pie!
ReplyDeleteRobin, I just finished eating a bite of pumpkin pie, I was too full for a full slice! I hope you and the Italian had a wonderful day.
DeleteA very Happy Thanksgiving to you!
ReplyDelete(I hope you count GORGEOUS carrots amongst your blessings-LOL! )
Sue, I pulled them just for you, but you didn't show up for dinner. LOL, it's a good thing, since I wasn't here to cook!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving from down under! We are even celebrating here in Australia (although I admit it is with a wonderful American friend). I wish we celebrated Thanksgiving here in a bigger way!
ReplyDeleteLanie, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with your American friend.
DeleteYum pie. I hope we have some good pumpkin pie there. My son always wants me to bring it as he likes the Libby's recipe and it is the one I use. I just starting making the pies I'm bringing. I'm letting the pie crust rest in the fridge right now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving. Have a great day with your family.
Daphne, I always make the Libby's recipe, I just substitute 2 cups of butternut puree for the pumpkin. I hope you had a great day!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Granny!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rachel. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your restful day, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ed. It's always nice when I can let someone else do the cooking. Of course, I took a casserole of butternut squash :-)
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Gran!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cloud. I hope you had a great day as well.
DeleteThank you so much, Mrs. P.!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! You carrots look lovely. Are they sweet What kind are they? Nancy
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy. I ate too much, as usual! That's the best part of Thanksgiving.
DeleteYes, the carrots are nice and sweet. I'm quite sure these were Burpee A#1Hybrid, although they might be Imperator. I didn't pay much attention to which variety I planted where, but the Imperator are usually longer and more slender.
Your harvests are still looking great! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with the family!
