Fall in the garden

The garden November 7th

You can't see it well in that picture, but we had a heavy frost Thursday morning.

The radishes didn't look great. It warmed up over the weekend, however. Saturday morning they looked like this again:

I took advantage of the beautiful fall weather and spent some time outside, harvesting leaves. More on that later. When the sky looks like this, how can you not be outside?

I uncovered each of the cabbages and the broccoli plants to see how they're doing.

The broccoli leaves look good, but I don't see anything in there that resembles the part you eat.

 I can see the beginning of a little head of cabbage, but what are the chances it'll live long enough? Guess we'll see tonight. The temperatures are supposed to get into the teens. Either the cabbage will survive, or the fall garden will be over.

This weekend's birds: sparrow, blue jay, cardinal, junco, robin, white breasted nuthatch, ringneck dove, house finch, chickadee. I haven't seen that many birds in weeks!
