Brussels sprouts photos

I found some Brussels sprouts to photograph at the community gardens today. They’re mostly picked clean. But a few small ones are left on some of the stalks.
Brussels sprouts
I finally got my courage up to try Brussels sprouts. As a child – I DID NOT like them, but Eastern Standard (Boston MA) has a delicious recipe with bacon that I loved!! I’ve never grown Brussels sprouts, but this could be a good new vegetable to try next year. Brussels sprouts and and kale are about all that’s left in the gardens here now. Maybe I can get a photo to add here tomorrow.
flowers in my garden
These are the last flowers of the year. In the corners and at the edges of my gardens. OK, one is actually blueberry leaves that look bright as flowers. I think they will all be covered with snow soon.
birds at the gardens today
Just the common birds today. Sparrows, robins, cardinals. I saw but couldn’t get photos of chickadees and juncos. I like to check my IDs of the birds: from top song sparrow, chipping sparrow pair, white throated sparrow, American robin, and northern cardinal. Bird experts – is this right?
in my garden today
My late fall garden is nearly empty, but a few plants are left. I have a tiny late crop of red curly lettuce and other salad greens. Some nice braising greens (bok choy) too. I thought the parsnips were too small but dug down a bit in the soil and found some nice roots. (I planted the seeds August 1.) I will leave them a bit longer – maybe until spring.

sweet potato sprouts
Since last fall (Oct 2010 – over a year ago!) I have held a basket of small sweet potatoes to see if they would sprout. Finally it seems they are sprouting. I am thinking about howI can set them up so they will grow inside over this winter. Looks like sweet potatoes may be a biennial crop for me.
This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy thinks the garden is his, even though I do all the work. We're located near Boston, in USDA zone 6. I have bees, chickens, fruit trees and berry bushes, too. I use all sustainable organic methods and strive to grow all of my family's vegetables myself. -Kathy
