At long last I harvested my Brussels sprouts! Last year, the cabbage worms on the cauliflower & Brussels sprouts were SO BAD I didn’t dare even try them. Of course, I had planted them together in the same plot, so the bugs thought I had set out a feast just for them!

Just thought I’d post a reminder here: make sure your harvested seeds are THOROUGHLY dried before storing them!

Sunflowers – quite possibly my favourite flower! Every year, I marvel at how 20’ tall flowers with a stalks as thick as my thigh can grow in just one season from a tiny black and white seed.  

It always makes me sad at the end of gardening season. All that’s left to harvest now is onions and Brussel sprouts (sweeter after a few frosts, I’m told – I’ll let you know!)
