Vegetables, Herbs & Fruit
out old plants and compost including Asparagus beds as the fronds fade. Harvest Jerusalem artichokes, broccoli, radishes, peas, parsnips, lettuce, leeks, potatoes, kale, collards, celery, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
Prepare beds for early plantings of peas this allows for an earlier planting in the spring before the soil dries out enough to be worked.
Plant Fava beans (cover crops can double as a source of beans for the table), garlic, onions, rhubarb and artichokes.
Prune the fruiting top sections of evergreen raspberries once they finish producing fruit and leave the lower section of branch for next years early crop. Other raspberries can be topped off at 5 feet and staked.
Store your bounty by freezing canning or hanging in a cool garage.
