December 5, 2008, Newsletter Issue #371: End Of The Season Harvest
Tip of the Week
The first frost is over in many areas. While most of the garden is done once frost hits it, there are still some plants that can be harvested and are actually better after they have been hit by a light frost. Kale, brussels sprouts and rose hips are just a few of the items that can still be harvested.
Rose hips are high in vitamin C. They can be eaten fresh, used to make wine or jelly which can be canned and used throughout the winter months.
Kale and brussels sprouts will last in the garden at least until a hard freeze. With protection, they may last longer. This gives you the advantage of picking them as you need them or picking them all at once and precerving them for use throughout the winter.
