Ruth has grown a terrific garden this year. There were beets, zucchini, potatoes, beans, peas, okra, tomatoes, and kohlrabi. There were turnips also but the worms ate them so badly that they were ruined. Oh, and corn is on the way.

Yeah for gardens!
what's kohlrabi? Is that in the first picture? It looks kind of like brussel sprouts. Her's did better than ours. We barely got anything. But big buddy has a good crop and gives us 90% of it! He says he just likes to see it grow. Ivan and him got in a fight about who's okra it was since Ivan tried to give it to him and he said it was ours.
From Wikipedia,
Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea Gongylodes Group) is a low, stout cultivar of the cabbage that will grow almost anywhere. It has been selected for its swollen, nearly spherical, Sputnik-like shape. The name comes from the German Kohl ("cabbage") plus Rabi ("turnip"), because the swollen stem resembles the latter. Kohlrabi has been created by artificial selection for lateral meristem growth; its origin in nature is the same as that of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts: They are all bred from, and the same species as, the wild mustard plant.
Kolrabi!!!! OMG!!! That is sooo cool you call it like that. I so can not believe that Angela does not know it. We grew it year after year and I love it the raw way. You can eat it without cooking, I hope you know Ian. If now, now you do. *lol*
Say hi to Ruth and tell her she did a good job there.
