I have not had a zucchini since my last post. The small little zucchini I posted last week faded and turned yellow. Even leaves are turning yellow and the vine is looking old and tired. I am afraid that this is the week I will have to give up all hope for any more zucchini.
The cucumbers are still producing BUT the vine is looking rather sickly.
And if you think that is bad here is the last tomato on the vine.
The one bright spot in the garden are my pepper plants.
And yet, time is running out on the pepper plants, I have a few that should ripen but the small peppers may nor make it to the table.
What is a man to do with such a sad state of affairs?
In North Carolina we are blessed with two growing seasons!
It is time to pull the zucchini and plant the cabbage.
Time to pull the cucumbers and plant the the collards.
The nice thing about the collards is that they will grow all Winter long. In fact, until there is a hard frost or even a rare snowfall, collards are way too bitter to eat.
I know it is a bit disgraceful that I am planting Georgia Collards in North Carolina, but I promise I shall plant other varieties throughout the garden, besides the best thing about collards is the bacon and the Hot Sauce. So I will just pretend that these are now North Carolina collards and only you shall know my secret.
So how is your garden growing?
Do you have any plans for a Winter garden?
