The vegetables of one's labor.

I popped over to our community garden yesterday to harvest some of our veggies in advance of our first frost of the year. I was SO annoyed at the thought of a first frost just because I'm really not ready for it to be winter yet, but then I remembered that much of the rest of the country has already seen snow and is almost definitely not gardening

Wow. That is an impressive haul ;o) Enjoy!

Sometimes I look back and wonder what corner I could've turned to make this sort of thing my life.

What corners you can still turn, sista! Lawrence has (or at least had!) community gardens

(and we have the University of Arizona right down the street. just sayin.)

Yes, but you experienced firsthand why I don't go outside much during the growing season around here. =D

[_luaineach]

OMG yes. I totally blocked that out and was just picturing gardening as idyllic!

Nice harvest! I can't wait for ours ... not sure when that'll be.

We put ours in back in mid October and all is progressing nicely. I should start taking from the basil plants. No tomatoes yet, though. The rest is doing really well. We will have brussell sprouts coming out of our ears when they finally do come.

Yay! We got all our seeds in really late, although everything is doing well right now. Broccoli, carrots and radishes are my favorite part of winter harvesting.

Nice haul! And I love how gardens produce so much that you can share generously with others.
