Asparagus this time of year?  Clearly it must feel like spring to them.  I have been picking autumn olive berries and was surprised that one of the bushes has started flowering again - similar sort of thing I guess.

Lots of apples and pears, really good year for apples  :sunny:

Also chard, carrots, lettuce, beans and celeriac for dinner.

I picked the last runner beans yesterday. I'm reasonably certain I have never picked runners in November before!

Plus some Blue Danube taters (unfortunately they turn out to boil to slop - we may be eating mash until they are done), some cabbage greens, and cleared out the one cayenne pepper and the one Prairie Fire.

I got fed up with beans so I just let them go to seed. But November and I keep thinking of pulling out the toms from the green house. Every time I go in I find a few more to pick and they have started flowering again.

Finished picking old dried runner beans today, podded them, drying off on a big plate. Gorgeous in casseroles and soups. Have to admit not much else apart from sorrel and chard, parsley and mint and lettuce reaching for the skies.

Same here.  Galina's, Helsing Junction Blue and Latah are still producing the odd tomato.  This was not the best year to trial blight resistant tomatoes.  But they are definitely coming to an end now naturally and I am removing plants just to get the tidying up done. 

Also still harvesting beans and just a few pods from the second sowing of peas.  Chard, kale, leeks, sprouting broccoli, celery and celeriac all still going strong.  Late sown lettuce is so good now and rocket, cress and landcress also go in out salads together with the last tommies.  I sowed turnips very late after the early potatoes had been dug up, expecting some nice spring greens, but they are now developing good roots, will pull those soon too.   :wave:

I just had a proper dinner of home-grown asparagus!

The foliage on my patch had gone yellow and started to die back ... and underneath the ferns was a quite decent crop of slightly blanched spears coming up from the base!  In November!

So I did the only decent thing and cooked them ... they were never going to help the plant at this time of year.

Last of the giant kestrel spuds. And bind weed. Does bind weed count?

I'm still picking "outdoor tomatoes" from my poly tunnel...  but today's surprise was a cauli ... "I wasn't expecting that".. but just tidying up in the brassica tunnels while the nets were off for bonfire night!

Picked the last courgettes this morning, some red spring onions, three heads of crisp lettuce and also bought home two nicely ripened pumpkins I had been hardening off in the greenhouse. Oh, and three chunky pot leeks for tonight's tea!
I was planning on planting my garlic snd shallots, but it's just too wet and warm....it was 16 degrees on the drive home!
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Even more apples! Pixie, James Grieve, and Christmas Pippin. Sugar snap peas growing in a big tub on the driveway. Sweetcorn (!).
