Garden Act III

Now that the Japanese beetles have died off, our green bean teepee is thriving. I picked several meals' worth of beans this morning. Unfortunately with the weekend demolition and removal of our kitchen cooktop, we don't have many ways to prep them, other than steaming them in the microwave. I'll be giving some to my in-laws...

Here is a corner of another part of the garden, where I planted some fall greens. The full row on the right is broccoli raab. I've planted it twice before, in spring, but it went to seed really quickly. These fall seedlings are looking awesome!

The half-row in the middle is comprised of beets. To the left of the beets is a row of spinach (looks like dirt in this photo, but the seedlings are just poking through!). Last year we had great luck with spinach planted shortly after Labor Day... enjoyed it in early November.

On the far left, out of the photo, I planted turnips. I would like to try to get another row or two of greens in, soon.
