Last Carrots and Signature Veggie

I harvested the last of my carrots for the season. Today is a beautiful day, sunny and warm. As a Minnesotan, I know the snow could come any time, so I'm taking advantage of today's good weather. The carrot varieties are Atomic Red and Rainbow.  Today's entry will end with a unique signature--a carrot in the shape of an L.  

Garden Review

Looking back that this gardening season, I can recommend Indigo Rose tomatoes.  Those I shared with fresh tomato eaters liked them tremendously, and since I tend to eat my tomatoes cooked, they did well in a sauce, which had a purple tint to it.  It was a bad year for my pea pods, since disease took over partway through the season.  I'm not too worried since I'll rotate my crops, as I do every year.  Slenderette green beans were amazing once again.  Overall, my garden reflected what the weather conditions gave it--and sometimes the weather wasn't so good.  But I got plenty of delicious veggies for my family.  The cool weather herbs are still looking good as is my second crop of lettuce and greens.  The photo above is a native maple tree footsteps away from my front door. Below is a photo of Haralson apples, which were prolific this year ( and yummy!).
