We’ve had an overnight low of 21°F already, despite the unseasonable daily high temps. One of the things I prefer to do after our first few frosts is harvesting our Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) because of the chemical changes they undergo - the starches change and they become a little sweeter.

If you haven’t yet (and you haven’t), please suggest a plant nursery doing good things in your region (or a region other than your own, that’s fine too) so others visiting can put their plant dollars towards nurseries engaged in good works and social equity.

What’s growing on with you all?

Some luffa pics -

Sheets drying

Four gourds

Luffa growing on the fence - I had to add some extra support here, the weight of the gourds was pulling the fence down!

Awesome photos, thank you for sharing! You’ve made me envious, I’ll have to grow some of these next year
