Fall Haul

My garden did really well this year. At the end of the normal growing season I had a lot of green tomatoes that I turned into a soup, more eggplant than I know what to do with, and my first attempt at growing sunchokes. Those sunchokes all came from one plant! They're a really cool tuber with a nutty flavor. You can turn them into chips. Or put in a soup.

The eggplant were just the final haul. I had been pulling 2 or 3 off of the plants each week for quite a while now. Next year I will plant more winter squash and perhaps more sweet potatoes.

  1. I love seeing your sunchokes. We're trying them next year, both for the food they offer and as a way to replace grass in one of our fields - pretty flowers and no mowing!
