Peanut butter squash Soup

Sounds interesting. Thai peanut soup maybe.

Comfrey plants completely unaffected by the storm are looking better than ever.

Picked up a few starts for our fall / Winter garden today. Beds are prepped and I will plant this evening. Chinese cabbage, "sweet slaw" cabbage, red cabbage, Parris island head lettuce, and artichoke.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Artichoke, cabbages, and lettuce starts in the ground. Also sowed snow peas (green and blue), "Thousand head" kale and carrots (atomic red, Tonda di Parigi) and harvested some okra seed for next year.

Some lovely veg there P a well thought Fall/Winter grow with all the staples and any man or women who grows comfry in there garden has green fingers.Best for your late grow.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Snow peas coming in with near 100% germination

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Raised bed update. Everything looking great. Cabbages are loving the slightly cooler weather. And the peas are climbing. Soil health was my main focus with amendments of mykos and manure compost that I've been aging. It's full of life and really the richest stuff I've ever worked with.

 

[talas]

Just a wonderfully healthy garden and your mykos manure compost is certainly doing it's magic.
Every plant looks in tip top health it would be a garden that would put a smile on my face walking out to each day.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Not sure what I have but I always welcome variety. Bought a 4 pack of "sweet slaw" cabbage and one isn't the same. Curly leaves instead of smooth.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Harvested squash and mustard greens today. All from volunteer plants. Two giant squash plants had grown up in the goat yard and the goats left it alone long enough to actually feed Us. The mustard greens were planted a few years back and we let some seed every year and it comes up in random spots so we eat it all fall and winter.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Carrots, cabbage, kale and peas doing great. Garlic all sprouted. Lettuce has bolted but we have a dozen more started. Still no frost in the forecast.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Turnips are almost ready to harvest.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Still no freeze. 35 last night. Waiting for frost so I can burn the stuff that will die during a frost. In the meantime my garden is overrun by zinnia that popped up since the hurricane.
