The cold crops loved the cooler edges of the warm hoop house. I was afraid that they wouldn't produce because of the heat but it didn't seem to bother them a bit. Emerald grew this Cauliflower in her little patch.
Alexis was in charge of growing this monster cabbage. It ended up being 12 1/2 inches in diameter. We ended up with several in the 10 to 12 inch range. We made 36 quarts of sour kraut before I started giving cabbage away and letting the chickens enjoy it. The cabbage I planted outside got about 6 to 8 inches across and it took them until freeze-up to get that big.
Emerald's massive broccoli plant. She pulled it out because it was taking over her entire garden bed.
Alexis with her mammoth radish, it was solid and sweet!
Yum! The squash was huge and never got hard and seedy. I gave away a lot and still have plenty for us. The kids accused me of putting zuchinni in every thing, and it was probably justified. They liked the "apple" pie but not the jelly or the quiche.
Alectra was very proud of her broccoli, it was the biggest in the house!
