Most things are looking pretty good out there. Still no frost here right by the Chesapeake Bay. I like to have a little frost on some of these things before I eat them to improve the flavor but sometimes I can't wait that long. I've already pulled White Egg turnips and they've been good, along with the greens. Oxheart and Paris Market carrots have been excellent. They're almost gone though. Broccoli is about done. I cut my first Chieftain Savoy cabbage of the season and cooked it last night. Yum! My first planting of collards is pretty much smothered by the broccoli and cabbage plants. My second planting is still pretty small. All the garlic and shallots are up and look good, too.

Now that the seed catalogs are rolling in, I'm really looking forward to the 2008 garden and planning that out. I guess we'll be ready to start a thread on spring planting pretty soon!
