end of the year

My gardening year is pretty much over. We had a very cold night several days ago, which finally killed the rest of my flowers, wilted the Rhubarb and Swiss Chard. I went out and cut down all the Chard; about half of it was still okay for eating. Look at how much there was!

You can see in this slightly-fuzzy picture that some of the largest leaves were bigger than my daughter's head!

I still have young Beets and Carrots out there, but doubt we'll be able to eat them. The Peas and Lettuce don't seem to mind the cold, so we'll still have a few weeks of salads too, until snow comes.
