SW Ohio, planting zone 6b (previously 6a)
With much colder weather approaching the last of the fall plants were harvested today, Sunday Nov 26th, 2023. This harvest culminates an amazing first year in our vegetable garden at our new 10 acre property in SW Ohio. Today we harvested the following:
Emerald Crown Broccoli
Amazing Cauliflower
Punta Verde Cauliflower
Lavender Cauliflower
Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage
Quickstar Kohlrabi
These were all started from seed late July and planted out August 28th. The broccoli with 59 days to maturity did well in this timeframe but the cauliflower would have done better if planted out by mid August as they could have used a couple more weeks to mature. These plants were all planted out under shade in August as it was very hot (mid 90s F) and then had to be transitioned to frost cloth by late October as we got down to the low 20s F around Oct 31st.
Thank you to everyone who has supported, followed and inspired us this year. -Peter & Hilary
