Fall’s Garden

I just noticed now, when starting in on a spring garden plan, that I never posted the one from fall.

6525 vegetable garden fall 2008

After being snowed on and frozen for a few weeks, the favas are in varying states of wiltedness, though many seem still alive.  The garlic and shallots seem good.  The brussels sprouts, kale, and chard are dead on the edges, but I think the cores are still alive.  The fennel looks pretty rough.  Maybe some of the larger bulbs could live, but most of the plants are wilted and dead.  I use the European vacation as an excuse for never planting parsnips, beets, or carrots this fall.
