Harvested the last watermelon and cucumbers cleaned up those beds. Planted two kinds of carrot, Japanese turnip, russian red and Italian kale. Zucchini and tomatoes are almost done. i have sugar snap and snow peas, arugula and radish seeds for those beds.
I’m all wrapped up for ‘19, for the most part. There might be an indoor grow started of kale and assorted greens and herbs between now and Christmas.
Today I planted around forty cloves of garlic and flipped the compost. Two months of deadfall was broken to size and burned in the fire pit after turning the pile.
Planted and heavily mulched in were a head each of Siberian, Chesnok Red, Russian Red, Music, Elephant, Spanish Roja, Purple Glazer, and one other.

The lettuce garden is starting to produce. Kale, red lettuce, pak choy, spinach and little gem romaine are looking good. So easy to grow and completely organic. Why can't we just grow our own, even in small pots out on the back porch.
Planted in the poly tunnel a bit later this year. Getting there regardless.
Is that lovely greenery in the bottom photo being bothered by a pest?
Yeah it looks like something has been nibbling on my little bhut jolokia
What is the plant? I mean: what does it produce, please?
I saved some tomato seeds, soaked them to save the good ones, and ditch the bad ones.
Then forgot them. They ALL sprouted in the cup! So I will have to put them in dirt. Somewhere. In DECEMBER IN MICHIGAN! When will I learn?

It's a pepper plant, it produces super hot peppers called bhut jolokia. aka Ghost peppers.
I'll be making some hot sauce from them.

Great plant and outstanding peppers! I really enjoyed growing mine 2 seasons ago, monster producer.

Sow it begins. This year I'm trying a new germination method (new for me). Basically its mini geraniums. The containers are for condiments. I placed a cotton round in the bottom and wet them, seeds on top. Lets see what happens with those pesky pepper seeds.

Tomatoes are doing well.

Great stuff guys. So glad to see you post pictures of your garden.
A very mild winter here. My salad bed is loving life. I've saved 100's of dollars planting my own stuff. Not like shaving.
I'm working on herbs, chives, basil, dill....love it all.
