Things are still looking pretty good in your garden, Dale. Most of what you have left looks like it will survive a frost or two. You may find the Brussels Sprouts improve in flavor after a good frost although maybe not enough to get you liking them fresh. I pulled up a square of carrots just yesterday. They were pretty good although on the short side. Very tasty though.

Regards, Gary

@garygardens My carrots have been growing since early spring and the ones that I've pulled so far have been very nice 10 inches or so and nice and straight. Which is funny after all the complaining that I did earlier in the season. They germinated and then just sat their for weeks I'm still not sure what I did, if anything, that got them growing, I did add some organic fertilizer. Only four squares this year next year I want at lease eight.

Well, whatever they are, the beans do look like they'd be good to eat. I haven't grown a lot of beans in the past, but might try some next year.

@steen1973 Whatever they are they produce well too I only had four plants.

those bean look nice...might have to grow some of them next year.....no frost here

@pinetar100 I wish I knew what these beans are they were free seed from a Yahoo Heirloom Seed group and they were supposed to be Italian Cannelloni beans but they are way to big for that. I almost three quarters filled that bowl with beans and I only had four plants.
