November is here!

Radishes in November?


Yes!

This variety is called "German Giant" which can grow as big as golfball-sized.

These were planted back on September 1st, and they're ready for picking as of today.

November is best described around here as "brown."

The colorful autumn leaves have moslty all fallen from the trees and their brilliant reds and oranges turn to brown.

The temperature got down to 28.5 degrees F. recorded at 7:35 AM this Friday morning.



I photographed a few today that were still covered with last night's frost - even though it was well past noon!

We've been getting steady frosts here for the last week - most notably, the first hard frost of the season hit on Monday, October 29, and the first 3-day consecutive run of hard frosts went from 10/29 thru 10/31 this year.
