Gardening For This Year Just About Done

Well I am busy picking pickles and my yellow wax beans started re-blossoming. I have gotten more green and wax beans this year than I ever have. Frozen all my beans on cookie sheets and then put them in ice cream pails with lids in the freezer. I can just scoop out what I need. With the cooler weather my broccoli plants are sending out more broccoli heads. It is amazing how I can end up with almost a full head of broccoli, from flowerettes that pop up here and there. I froze some carrots over the weekend. I could not believe how far they were already, and many of them had split. I am pleased with them as they are huge. I am drying green beans and yellow wax beans and I have all my pea seed saved for next year already. I am waiting for the lettuce to flower out, and also the carrots to collect my seed. I have tons of Dill. My Dill in areas were almost 5 ft tall. and the heads were 12 inches in diameter. Celery I cut off about 3 weeks ago and froze it. And it is regrowing as well. We tried the cylinder shaped beets this year. they were great to work with, but I did not get as much beets from them. I think I might go back to the Detroit dark beets, but I am waiting for the beet plant to finish flowering, so I can collect the seed. We have more carrots, pickles, beans, tomatoes, broccoli, kohlrabi, celery, beans, butternut squash, pumpkins, and tiny pumpkins yet to harvest.
Hope you are all having a great harvest as well.
Hugs Mary

Thank you Annette. I am pleased as well on how much I was able to get out of my garden, especially with everything going in 1 1/2 months late due to all of the flooding and torrential rains.
