As the season comes to an end we continue to clean out beds that have been harvested. They are then covered with clover seeds to provide greenery during the winter and nutrients for the soil.Minor repair work was needed today as we discovered the fence had been torn along the lower gate. The garden was clearly broken into but no damage was done.
We have a lush crop of green Treviso Radicchio thanks to seeds from Italy that Melanie provided. However, "googling" needed to be done to determine when and how to harvest this. The green leaves are very bitter and research determined we need to wait to harvest in the colder weather. This should lessen the bitterness.
Crops that were harvested today: all the red leaf and romaine lettuces and Chinese cabbage, as they were starting to bolt, butternut squash, jalapenos, beans, eggplants, and tomatoes, and arugula.
Many thanks to Maria for again taking the food donation to Our Daily Bread.

This is the best website I could find that answers our questions about the radiccio treviso in our garden.
And Maria wrote in about celariac:
This
is my choice for doing something new with celeriac. If any of you have
some celeriac you will not be using, please let me know and I will add
it to the "Pot-Roast".
