Last Harvest of 2015

This is it - the last harvest of the 2015 vegetable garden.

3 tiny zucchini
a handful of Jimmy Nardello peppers
1 green pepper
and a handful of mild jalapeño peppers

The garlic was one I took out to break part to plant.  I didn't need it after all.  I planted 29 cloves of garlic and I think that will be enough.


I didn't purchase garlic from Fedco this fall because I had such a large harvest and you can see how big they are.


This is the typical clove size too.


I pulled out all the peppers and zucchini and with the exception of the bed of garlic planted this mix I got from Hudson Valley Seed Library.


I'll have to see if it lives up to the hype on the bag.

Joining Harvest Monday now hosted by Dave at Our Happy Acres.

    That is a whopper of a garlic! Oats and field peas make a good cover crop here, so I bet they will do well for you, though the oats usually die off in winter.

    Wow that is one huge head of garlic - and that clove is practically the size of a "normal" head. I'll be putting my garden to bed soon as well. Both it and I need a break, I think!

    I wonder how you ever grown Elephant garlic? It is the biggest onne around although our garlic looks very big also.

    What a healthy vegetable gardening season you have had this year! That is the biggest garlic ever, Marcia. Soon there will be more time for reading and card making! ♡Dawn@Petals.Paper.SimpleThymes

    That's a really impressive garlic! I've used both field peas and buckwheat as cover crops. The peas are harder to till under but they're well-behaved. Buckwheat is only for spring, covers well, but goes to seed very quickly, and if you don't catch it in time (I didn't), multiplies everywhere. Sorry to read it's your last 2015 harvest.
