Clockwise from the left are mixed choys, Toraziroh, and Mizspoona gene pool.
Canton White pak choy. I harvested whole plants because they're overcrowded and their bed is too shaded. Even the fast growing broccoli raab in that bed is slow growing, it's just now starting to gain some size.
There's been quite a few light frosts, but I'm hoping a hard frost won't come until December. Even then I'm planning to use garden fleece and straw, if I can actually fine straw.

Kentucky Fried Garden is my journal of vegetable gardening in humid western Kentucky USDA zone 7a. Knowing where my food comes from and whether it comes from non-genetically modified seed is important to me. I try to use open pollinated varieties in an effort to continue maintaining the diversity of food plants available to humans. Trying to extend the harvest by experimenting with hardier varieties and overwintering plants will be one of my projects.

We are at the stage where we won’t have anything to harvest some weeks.
Another harvest of gorgeous greens. It's so nice to see.
Lovely greens! They are calling for snow and freezing rain here later this week. Straw has been hard to find here too. Thankfully I had one bale left to cover my garlic.
So lovely - fingers crossed you get that hard frost later rather than sooner!
Those greens look so lush and fresh!
I love your wonderfully vibrant fresh mixed choys, Toraziroh, and Mizspoona. I am so stunned they are pretty perfect too, not chewed like my greens by pests. Enjoy!
Your greens are amazing, esp the Toraziroh, and Mizspoon. Its nice to see them without holes by munching pests!
Hi Shaheen,
I do think beneficial nematodes are helpful in controlling flea beetles that attack brassicas, which seem to be our main culprit of damage. Although, caterpillars can be terrible as well. I've pretty much given up on spring planted brassicas, except for kohlrabi which don't seem as bothered.
