We’ve had an overnight low of 21°F already, despite the unseasonable daily high temps. One of the things I prefer to do after our first few frosts is harvesting our Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) because of the chemical changes they undergo - the starches change and they become a little sweeter.
If you haven’t yet (and you haven’t), please suggest a plant nursery doing good things in your region (or a region other than your own, that’s fine too) so others visiting can put their plant dollars towards nurseries engaged in good works and social equity.
What’s growing on with you all?
Moved houses so I started prepping next year’s garden by dumping all of the autumn leaves where I want to establish beds. This’ll kill the lawn by spring allowing me to plant stuff.
Great stuff! That’s how we do it too
