Things are winding up with the last of the Summer plants. The Sunchokes look pretty sad. I've 2 fruits on the Winter Squash I planted back in early July. In a couple of days I'll harvest the oldest as Summer Squash. So much for that experiment;>!
I should be able to harvest my 1st Turnips around Halloween/Samhain and while I could harvest some of the Collards I'll wait till a few days after Frost.
While I'm a big fan of the family, I don't like Collards and HATE Kale! So, this Summer I Googled the sweetest cultivars of Collards and found 2, of which the rarest I grew out, 'White Mountain'. It's an Appalachian Heirloom so it should do well here in E TN. I've tasted the thinnings and they were very sweet. Been nibbling bits for the last month and so far so good. Pretty too. Unfortunately, snails like it too!
Should have Chinese and Korean Daikons next month. No sign of swelling stems on the Kohlrabi and it's WAY to soon for Beets.
Cheers!
Pat
