Last night we had our first frost. So this morning I found a few plants that didn't make it, plants I hadn't put in the garage or taken inside. But just a few casualties because most of the tender plants had been put in their place.
It is November after all.
Also last night was a Blood Moon. I tried to get a good picture but no, that didn't happen. This was my best:
The months are passing by so quickly... where does the time go? Lately it seems like time is going by faster and faster...
Well, except for the fact that I've been waiting for over three months for the part my husband ordered to arrive to hopefully repair the oven. Three months without an oven is a long time. LOL Thankfully we purchased a little air fryer/multi use oven last year. It's come in really handy. Sadly, after all of the waiting the part was the wrong size!! Apparently, the 15 year old oven is now obsolete. Now we go look for another double oven, which is custom fit, so it will need to be a specific size, or very, very close since there are cabinets above and a drawer below. If we can't find one locally, it will be way into next year before one will be delivered. Looks like I won't be cooking a turkey... but I'll figure something out. Maybe a turkey breast on the stove top. Hmmm.
Been busy in the garden. Pulling up all the spent vegetables and fruits. I did manage to get some fall crops growing which makes me very happy.
Purple Lady Bok Choi - I harvested some the other day and added it to the Pho soup I made the other day. Perfect!
What else have I planted...greens, plenty of greens. They are very nutritious and healthy. And delicious!
Vates collard greens
Bellezia wild arugula
Nero Di Toscana kale/cabbage
Purple Moon Kale
Tendergreen mustard spinach
Tom Thumb lettuce
Osaka Purple mustard
Rossa di Verona sel Arca chicory - which has been my favorite for the past three years. But, I better let some go to seed this time if I want to grow it again.
German Giant radish
China Rose winter radish
Both radishes are about ready for harvest. I checked the other day and the bulbs were still pretty small but I may just have to settle for smaller radishes... the greens look really good so I know I'll be enjoying them sauteed with a little garlic. Did I mention the garlic I planted in September? Several dozen.
Some photos I've taken ---
Frogs...lots of frogs.
Turtlehead flowered just a short time
Scorpionfly is an interesting character
This past full moon, on the 23rd or 24th of October...
Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
