Thanksgiving harvest


Happy Thanksgiving for All of Us!


 The garden is frozen, but the harvest was so good today!


Parsnips are huge! Cant wait to take them.

 Asian radish "Shogoin Globe" from 
Kitazawaseed 

First time to grow, first time to harvest!

The description says -
A large, round white daikon with a green neck. It has firm, crispy flesh with a mild taste. Harvest when roots reach 6" diameter. Suited to heavy clay soils. The roots develop mainly above ground; the leaves protect the roots well.
And the rest - celery, carrots, beets (very small this year), greens.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last year I have had a lot of seedlings, but almost no cucumbers, this year I tried different type of plants and places - greenhouse, pots, open raised beds.
