I has a sad.
Lettuce, mizuna, bok/pak choi, mustard...anything leafy green works well.
Beets?
I don't see why not, but I haven't grown beets in a minute. Just like other root crops they will need bone meal though, especially since the cucumbers ate up a lot of the nutrients.
Great.
I have amended the field with deer.
I got through processing the lettuce today. 3 full grocery bags and barely enough room in the fridge.
After harvesting last weekend I chopped and dropped all stalks (I cut them down into little pieces) and leaves I didn't use then buried them in the upper 3" of the planters. I've been doing this for a while now because it supercharges the soil and and makes the worm activity explode. There are so many baby worms right now it's insane. I just reset the planters with lollo rosso, prizehead, black seeded Simpson, and grand rapids.
Had to pull most of my last remaining fully blushed peppers.
It looks like I might get a freeze sometime next week so I'm going to try to get the remaining energy until right before the freeze then pull everything else.
Although not garden, the forest is a natural one I like learning.
I found a Hackberry Tree & berries, & picked up some Turkey tail for tea.

One of my tabasco plants has a full flush of flowers right now. Should be interesting to see if I get Christmas peppers.
Mine do too but there's just no way it's gonna happen.
I've never successfully overwintered pepper plants but I'm really gonna give it a go this time.

My jalepeno plants died off one after another, but the serrano and tobasco plants are doing just fine. I"ve mentioned this before but I have one serrano plant that I accidentally overwintered and now it's 3 or 4 years old.
My dwarves are pumping out some fruit. The tahetian lime tree is loaded for it's size.
Variegated eureka (pink lemonade) lemon
Valencia orange

Oro blanco grapefruit
Rio red grapefruit
Moro blood orange
And my 30 year old mandarin is loaded to the gills.
Christmas peppers? Not the haul of a lifetime or anything but my serrano and tobasco plants are still throwing fruit and flowers.
