A hand holding a large pink and white radish.
I was not expecting a radish this big. I feel better about my decision not to buy a daikon radish at the grocery store for the bibimbap recipe I'm trying.

Three freshly picked beets and a work glove sitting on top of a caged garden bed.
A slice of beet that is red and white striped.
Cut beets on a metal baking sheet.
The beets did grow after all. I planted them while there was still snow last spring. I basically gave up on them this summer. We've had snow and it's below or close to freezing every night now.

A wooden table with wire cages, bags of bulbs, a purple water bottle, and some potted plants on it. There is a black and white chicken under the table.
Shutdown project day 21: planted tulips and daffodils and uncovered a bit more of the buried cement path in my yard.

Two halves of an acorn squash on a cutting board.
Stuffed acorn squash halves on a metal baking sheet.
I ate one of my acorn squash today. I was glad it was actually mature when I cut it open and not still a baby.

Two blue metal garden beds in a snowy yard.
I'm glad I brought in the last of the winter squash last night. Gardening season is over.

A refrigerator with several jars of pickles.
Shutdown project day 7: quick pickles. I don't know what all the hype is about lemon cucumbers. Not great for pickles as they tend to have a very soft seedy center. Not great for snacking as advertised since they have extra thick spines and I need to peel them.

An acorn squash, a bowl of bell peppers, and a bowl of basil.
A bowl of pesto with a fork in it.
I also picked the basil and an acorn squash that seemed ready. I'm gambling with the rest of the winter squash because they need more time. I dug up 3 of the pepper plants to try and overwinter them.

A bowl full of green bell peppers.
A bowl full of lemon cucumbers and one tomato.
We've got a freeze watch tonight. Picked all the peppers, cucumbers, and one tomato. Still need to pull the green tomatoes. Going to leave the beets, kohlrabi, herbs, lettuce, peas, and winter squash since we're only forecast for 37°F.

A black and white chicken takes a dustbath next to some newly planted apple trees.
Shutdown day 1 project: I planted my apple trees with a little help from my hens.
We've got a wealthy and a liberty. Both were identified in the Wyoming Apple Project | Home share.google/hAcslAHqvXfW...

Peppers, parsley, and kohlrabi in a plastic container.
A purple soup with dumplings in a blue bowl.
I grew some stuff and then I made a purple stew (whip, whip, whip, whip). Ok, really it's a soup.

A hand holding a crookneck squash and a bell pepper.
A bowl of soup with yellow squash, tomatoes, and ground bison.
It's getting cool enough in the evenings for soup. Thankful for the north and south American indigenous seed keepers that made this meal possible.

A blue metal raised bed overgrown with tomato plants.
A blue metal raised bed with pruned tomato plants.
The annual tomato massacre has happened. Nights are getting cooler and first frost doesn't seem so distant. In fact two friends outside of town already had frost pockets and lost their basil.

A wooden planter with pepper plants growing in it.
Bell pepper plants with flowers and small peppers.
I still can't get over how much easier it is to garden one USDA zone warmer. I've gotten so many peppers and there are more in there. Though the chickens let me know the cage is not chicken proof last night and ate a few peppers.

When you find a bargain on bulbs but it's still getting into the 80s...
Our average first frost is September 23 and in theory could be as early as September 10. I just watered the garden in shorts and a t-shirt though.

A small brownish red pepper, 2 tomatoes, and a knife on a wooden cutting board.
My first chocolate pepper. As advertised, it tastes just like a regular bell pepper. I was so worried I planted too much. Over the winter I'll build up in ground beds of compost so Next year I can plant 3 or 4 times as much.

Three red tomatoes in a hand.
Tomato slices on two pieces of bread on a blue plate.
First tomatoes! Plus, homemade mayonnaise, because when you have chickens, there is no other way. #zone5gardening #tomatoes

A hand holding a kohlrabi.
At least I grew a kohlrabi. We are about to go trillions of dollars in debt and lose even more services. The least I can do is grow and eat my veggies. #zone5gardening #compostthepatriarchy

Went out to see what greens there were for the bunnies, and the first radishes were ready!

A small leafy head of light green lettuce
It’s snowing today but the buttercrunch lettuce doesn’t seem to mind. 🌱
I’ll be picking it all before the hard freeze, but I’m still impressed that I’m harvesting outdoor lettuce in late November. Wild.
