So Behind

I have been so behind on my garden chores.  It didn't help that we were gone a month and then came home very sick. 

Yesterday was the big push to get some stuff done before the weather turns extremely cold.

1. I pulled up all of the dead veggies in my garden.  I didn't get the debris dumped and that may have to wait till Spring, but at least that is done.  
2. I got my tomato cages brought in and stored under the house.
3. I got my carrots and leaks dug up.  I knew you could leave them in the ground after a frost or freeze and they would be fine.  That fact was proven.  Next year I won't be in a rush to harvest either of those.  
4. I planted garlic and shallots.  I am not sure how they will do.  Normally I do this late October or early November.  I guess I will find out. 
5. I covered the new rose in the front yard.  I only cover new roses for the first winter.  After that they are on their own.  

Mutant carrot - four carrots in one.  Looks the bugs had a little snack when it started to split.  I will cut that out and will eat it anyway.  Hopefully it tastes ok.  Not sure.
