October 29th Salad and More

Amazing to have salad from the garden, at least for me. This year I planted lettuce and arugula in late August and now I have salad! I didn't plant as much as I wanted to because so many other plants were still producing but this is enough. I planted Black Seeded Simpson lettuce and is tender and delicious. Replanted both the European and American arugula and both are doing well at the end of October.
I had tucked a few potatoes in corners late this summer as a test and today pulled up some Purple Peruvian and Fingerlings, leaving more to harvest later....well a little bit later. Cold is coming and the rains so I will have to get them up out of the ground probably within the next 3 weeks.
Today I planted more garlic; Music and Metechi and set out a row of French Red Shallots. Last year I planted shallots and forgot where they were and they got covered up with chard and kale. This time they have a row of their own, clearly marked:-) and I am trying some in a pot.
Good day for being in the garden!
