As the shorter days and colder temperatures arrive, we slowly take our beds out of cash crops, and plant winter cover crops.  This year, we are doing a winter wheat and winter pea mix.  Here are some pictures of these cover crops at various stages of growth:

One month old winter wheat

Two week old winter wheat

7 day old winter wheat

Finally, here are some pictures of some of our remaining vegetables that are thriving in this mild fall weather:

Lettuce mix

Full size heads of leaf lettuce

Romaine heads almost ready for harvest

And our final planting of carrots for the 2013 season

Just prior to taking these pictures, I harvested, washed, and bunched our last planting of French Breakfast radish.  They are the best we’ve grown this season.
