Chef's Garden Fall Squash Harvest

We will start harvesting delicata, and acorn squashes as you need them. This photo showcases our “twin” squashes of 2024. We will harvest the butternut squash this coming week. They will harden for a few weeks and then be ready for use.

Chef's Garden Flowers

Chef's Garden Fall Pink Rose

There are still a few roses because the Garden hasn’t had a frost or freeze yet. Everything is waterlogged since we have had over 3 inches of rain in the past week. The gem marigolds are showing the effects of a week of pounding rain. We have to hunt for decent blooms, but we hope to be able to harvest them until the Garden freezes.
