Garden Notes: November 2024

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Today is American Thanksgiving. In thinking and reflecting about what I’m thankful for, I have to say that our garden is a big one on my list. There are many reasons for this: food quality and freshness, less to buy at the grocery store, an opportunity to be outdoors and pursue an activity I enjoy, a sense of purpose, and the seasonal routine gardening offers. I’ve learned some important lessons too, a huge one being that I don’t control as much as I think I control. And that has helped teach me to be adaptable; to carry on and do the best I can in spite of my circumstances; to not fret when I’m not getting what I planned to get. Life lessons. Important lessons for mundane living.

    1st carrot, a purple cosmos. Lettuce and more carrots in the backgrund.
    Purple cosmos carrots have purple skin and orange insides
    First turnips

    Sweet potato squash in the back and first daikon. This one went into kimchi.
    The last harvest bucket of summer produce

    Lots of baby sweet potato squash, which are good in salads. The potatoes were a surprise, from some I missed in my summer harvest. The plants were really healthy, making me think I should experiment with summer potatoes next year.
    Fall greens with the last of the pre-frost cherry tomatoes.

    The salad dressing was an experiment made from chickpeas. Quite good!
    And lastly . . .
    Thanksgiving dessert, a winter squash pie

    How is everyone else faring this time of year?
