This week at the garden, we dug up roots, harvested, and compiled leaves for our upcoming workshop. The late autumn vegetables are continuing the grow and should be ready to harvest in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the winter garden is prepped for a season of dormancy until lots of new shoots emerge in the spring.

Look at those beautiful rows!

We found a strange-looking vegetable… it happens to be the root of the taro plant from our Japanese bed!

The Brussels sprouts are growing nicely!

We had another plentiful harvest, including radish, assorted cabbages, Brussels sprouts, radicchio, carrots, beets, and baby turnips.
