« Last post by Eric Krewson on November 28, 2025, 10:30:15 am »Time to wrap up the part of the garden that can't stand the heavy frost that is coming tonight.
I dug a lot of Daikon radishes, they grow to china and I have found the long spade it the best way to get them out of the ground without breaking them. I ended up with 2 gallon bags packed full of washed and trimmed radishes.
Next I picked spinach, not because the frost will harm it but because I needed some in the frig. My bulging disc back issues wouldn't let me bend over to pick last week, with my old man knee stool I could manage it today, I picked two gallons of really nice spinach. I put up the rabbit fence this year, I tried trapping them in the past but couldn't catch any, they ate all of my spinach last year. This is the patch after I picked, I forgot to take a before picture.
Lastly I pulled my beets, there is a lot I don't know about growing them, this is my first attempt. They germinated very slowly and the grass took over, the beets were small. I wanted to pickle some, again my first attempt, I may have enough to fill a couple of pints.
