New Jersey plants already got more than enough water earlier in the year causing problems with both ornamental gardens and vegetable gardens. Anyone still have vegetables thriving? I've seen plenty of NJ lawns with lawn mower ruts from heady riding mowers being used after a rain.
Today brings even more rains, but at least the temperatures have moderated. This means LOW risk of more fungus problems. Too bad most tomatoes have already bit the dust. How about some fall vegetables?
Here are a few of my favorites: Brussels sprouts, cabbage, endive, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, leeks, pumpkins (and pumpkin pie), spinach and zucchini.
To celebrate this rainy day, I'm looking looking for some great recipes to use with these vegetables. How about some potato leek soup?
