Harvest Monday

This week we greeted our first frost here in South Carolina.  I've still been harvesting strawberries and I'm surprised that they are still producing, but no complaints!

 

I also harvested some peppers (covered during the cold nights) and some peas:


I have never grown turnips.  How do I know when to harvest??  They don't look as big as I thought they would be, but I don't want them getting woody. 


My main causality in the frost was the basil:


I've got plenty of pesto frozen and plenty of dried basil to get me through the winter months, so the frost wasn't a tragedy.  The basil is now my Halloween decor!

I hope everyone had a Happy Harvest Monday!  To see what others are harvesting check out Harvest Monday at Daphne's Dandelions.

    Lovely strawberries & peppers. I don't have any advice about turnips, I've never grown them before.

    Those strawberries look lovely - our season is just starting but mine really aren't very good at all. I think perhaps i need to water them more.
