This chapter in the Nomad Garden Journal is again in the same Italian Alpine Garden as my last month!
And again I post this for the amazing contest by 
This was my last month in Italy as I will go to Denmark in less than a week, in search to get my own garden!
This is the garden belonging to the parents of my partner, and most of the credits for this wonderful garden should be given to Patrizia and Roberto.
November
.. has been amazing! Warm Indian Summer days, with blue skies, and then suddenly, a less amazing big storm came and knocked down thousands of trees and bridges and roads, and massive amounts of water flooded the rivers. But the garden got through it alright!
Just today we woke up to the first signs of frost and decided it was time to harvest the last of all the non-frost resistant crops!
I got some photos before the harvest though, and here is how November's magic Italian Alp Garden looks like!
The radishes we sowed in early October! They came out really good and big!
These are also some of the biggest leeks i ever saw! They don't look that big on this picture though -but I love the dancing sun particles ;P
Also the photo of this Green Cauliflower doesn't do it justice! It is huge! Around 30cm in diameter, it's crazy! The other ones we harvested were more normal size..!
Fennel is such a beautiful vegetable..!
The mixed wheat field coming up nicely. Gonna over winter to grow next year
Can you believe all these sweet peppers still in November!
Radicchio - sorry for the turned photo. I love the pattern it makes when cut. Flower of life!:
Look at this beautiful cabbage - one of the frost resistant crops that got to stay out for a bit together with the leeks :)
Not much to see yet, but under the mulch we planted a lot of garlic to come up next year!
Baby leaf salad
Willow and his grandparents harvesting salad. It's harvested with roots and soil so it will stay fresh longer, in the cool of the basement, but away from the frost
Lots and lots of celery
And that was it - the sun is getting scarcer and scarcer here these days! It comes for 10 minutes in the morning, then goes behind the mountain and shows up again for around an hour in the afternoon. But by the 28th of November, it won't show up at all for two months! That's why the winters are extra hard on perennials here.
Next day edit!
it was good we got everything in yesterday!
Thank you for coming to the garden with me!
And thank you for stopping by! <3
