I'll pick some of this lettuce for supper tonight. The carrots on the left have a long way to go.

While I'm taking photos, these are turnips on the left and beets on the right. We'll eat some bulbs when they develop but these are just as much for the greens.
These mustard greens are pretty clos to ready. Most winters these are top performers.
These Collards are also very dependable. We'll be eating on them for a long time.
Left to right these are the cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli. They have not started heading up yet. I'm hoping around Christmas.
And finally, for @seedcorn this is the Red Russian Kale. Daughter-in-Law will get some Monday, it's her favorite.
From here until spring we'll be eating a lot of cool weather greens.

What robust & healthy looking leafy greens @Ridgerunner; not a single bug hole in any of those leaves! Wow! What's your secret?

I don't know. Most of those seeds went in the ground October 14 this year, you'd think the bugs would be at their peak. Maybe that was late enough, in Arkansas i had to start cool weather crops in late August, The bugs wouldn't let me do it. One benefit has been really dry weather the last month. If it is wet the snails are a huge problem down here. It's been to dry for them.
But no pesticides, just blind luck. The lettuce was good. I'm thinking mustard greens for tomorrow night.

You know, I just might learn to accept Brussels sprouts if'n they were harvested a month or 2 after frost.
Everyone knows that Scotch kale becomes more tender at that time. I was really surprised that collards became about 100% more to my liking after hard frosts. Remarkable also, that it didn't die in our mild '20-'21 winter. We will see how collards does this time. Brussels sprouts, huh?

Picked these a bit young but they are really tender. I gave the larger to my son and we had the smaller one, some in a stir fry, some steamed. I have two more of these that will grow some more.
