Squash treasures

Taking up all the tomato plants and the squash plants is always a nice surprise, as underneath them are some winter squash that I had previously missed. Just that much more to store for winter! I still have kolrabi, brocolli, turnips, beets and carrots growing, but they too will soon have to come in. The weeds still need some more pulling but soon even they will succumb to the frosts. I could cover my carrots with bales of hay and harvest them all winter (if I want to walk through snow that is). All in all the garden is 3/4 cleaned up and soon will be tilled and fences put in for next year's peas! With the ground previously tilled I could plant the peas during a January thaw, however I will wait until early April when I will also plant my spinach. Already looking forward to next year's peas and spinach!
