I went by a couple local community gardens yesterday to see what's growing. Waltham Fields and Cambridge Neville Place community gardens. Both have wonderful things still. It gives me ideas on what I can plant for late fall next year. The Brussels sprouts are very pretty. And the Tuscan kale. The big purple head of broccoli is fantastic!

In my garden, I have escarole, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, and a row of mixed greens that includes kale and bok choy. I also have the celeriac and parsnips still in the ground. Also lots of parsley and some tiny collard greens. The weather has been perfect for these recently and they're growing well.

    Those trees are magnificent! Keep meaning to ask what "Collards" are.
    We had our first Brussels last week, they were much sweeter than shop bought ones. The whitefly has been dreadful. Have some in the garden which haven't falling victim to the fly they should be ready for Christmas dinner.

    How wonderful with all those veggies, what a great picture of the community garden. I just love the ochre coloured trees.

    Gorgeous (as always) photos. I LOVE that purple broccoli, I so want seeds for that to join the panoply of purple vegetables I'm planning for next year.

    I bet they appreciate the traffic they are getting. We'll see what happens with the complaints.
