Haha it’s not unheard of…
My Mums birthday is end of September (2 days off my father in laws birthday), so we generally have an ‘Indian Summer’ party at ours with wholesome grub and a lot picked from the garden
But that’s not happening this year as both sets of parents are away for my Mums 70th…
TBH a lot of what I grow is for over winter and Christmas too, root veg gets better with a good frost or 2, so I do like to leave a lot in the ground
You get a great benefit from organic vegetables and great taste plus so healthy … I miss those days when I visited my grandfather in Puerto Rico and he would go in the backyard and pick up a few things for dinner…. I have a friend here in New York. He does a good job of in his garden back of the house and I find it amazing because this is not the best area for gardening in the city. We get some tomatoes cucumbers and eggplant and fruit …figs and plums …
