last day of our 2 week vacation at home

arugula, cilantro, flat leaf parsley. aka winter pesto

the paddle plant doesnt mind the cold


dinosaur kale and another kind of arugula



after a brutal summer, the salvia finally blooms




tat soi - like a mini bok choi




cauliflower tweens need some compost



brussel sprout tweens, maybe 2 more weeks until they're ready?




a six pack of brussel sprout plants




turnips and mature cauliflower


uh, cauliflower
put it in the food processor with some water and millet and it's just like mashed potatoes


this turnip is ready...and spicy!
we baked it with a granny smith apple. yum
