Beans did great this year, we ate loads, froze some and they just kept coming.

Peas are done, we let some dry for seeds and tore out the plants and supports.

The last two surviving sweetcorn cobs were the largest and so got plucked and peeled to dry for seeds.

Also got seeds from the two tobacco plants that popped up randomly after we dug over the former greenhouse for the first time. Nobody here smokes, but I'm kinda curious to experiment with them.

Cucumbers are done too.

Even managed to save a few hazelnuts from the mad squirrels this year.

Just pumpkins, sunflowers and apples left now. And the apples are pretty sour still. Not enough sun. Endless rain.

I'm deliberately letting a couple of my red lettuce plants go to seed -- so I'll have seed! All the other ones that have bolted I composted.

"Knowing when to harvest lettuce seeds is easy when you take the time to observe your garden. When the lettuce plant bolts, it sends up a flower stalk that soon contains viable lettuce seeds for next year’s crop. Plan to gather lettuce seeds when the flower stalk and seed heads are totally dry. You might even see a little fluff sticking out!"

This was our #CommunityGarden plot back in its first year, 2010. We cleared a pile of debris from the previous year and planted seeds a friend gave me. He turned me on to both #HeirloomVegetables and #SeedSaving . We only had a half plot then but in 2011 we took the other half plot and have gardened in the same space since. I was so excited to see things grow and the excitement is still there every year. #Gardening #Vegetables #Herbs #FlashBackFriday
