Harvest, Brussels Sprouts, Lettuce/Snow Pea Weeding

I had some time yesterday evening to go to the plot so off I went!  One big reason is that Wifey bought some organic Brussels Sprouts starters at a local farmers' market and needed them planted.  With the tomatoes and peppers still doing well and the other fall produce (transplanted Egyptian Walking onions, shallots, Daikon radish, snow peas, and lettuce) having already been planted I was pretty stumped about where I was going to plant them.  Also, having never grown them I quickly read up on what was needed; I was shocked to learn they need 24" of space.

Thankfully, we had inherited a few faux terra cotta pots from a neighbor of ours so I took two out to the plot to assist.  There is now a pot next to the gate (see pic) and another in the back left next to Audrey 3 (aka the moonflowers), one planted next to the compost bin where snow peas had been, one in a tomato box on the other side of Audrey 3, and one in the former bean box where I'd removed the trellis.  Unfortunately, one is still homeless and residing in our kitchen until I figure out a home for it.

Once all the festivity with the brussels sprouts was finished, I tackled weeding the lettuce and snow pea box.  I'd done a fair amount a week or so ago, but hadn't been able to finish.  More accomplished.

Once everything was watered, I harvested some tomatoes and cayenne peppers.  I got home just in time to turn the tomatoes over to Wifey who was working on canning some.  Unfortunately, in my haste to deliver everything, I neglected to take a picture or weigh everything.

The tally was:

• 8 San Marzano tomatoes
• 4 cayenne peppers
