Harvesting and eating
Even though October’s frost killed off the summer garden, the cherry tomatoes and pole beans growing on the porch trellis survived. I reckon that’s because they are somewhat protected by the eaves of the front porch. They extended our summer harvest for about three more weeks and were very welcome!

Of the fall garden, we’re getting daikons and greens to go with the last of those cherry tomatoes.
| November salad: cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and greens (kale, collards, chickweed, dandelion, turnip, and daikon) |
| Chopped fresh greens make a nice addition to my frozen leftovers soup. |
Before our mid-November freeze I still got a few red raspberries every couple of days.
I added them to the others in the freezer. Sometime this winter I’ll make raspberry jelly. After the hard freeze, I cut back the canes for better production next year.
The other thing I harvested was buckwheat.
| Mostly seed, but leaves and stems too. |
| Winnowing wheat with a box fan. |
Last year we got the wheat done in July, but this year July was flooded with figs, pears, and tomatoes, so I didn’t have time then. Dan got most of the threshing done, so I’m winnowing as we need flour.

Of the green slicing tomatoes I picked before the frost, we ate the last one right before Thanksgiving.

Growing
| Wheat patch |
| Garden bed with lettuce, kale, and garlic. The cattle panel is to keep critters from digging! |
| Garden bed of daikons. |
| African keyhole garden with various young greens. |
Planting
It’s really too late to plant, but I poked a bunch of fava beans into the garden swale berm and sprinkled the bare spots in the hugelkultur with turnip seeds. Likely, they’ll be an early spring crop.

I reckon that’s it for my November 2022 garden notes. How about you?
