The green bean and cuke beds are covered in garden scraps and composting away. The tomatoes, surprisingly enough, kept ripening despite freezing temps and practically dead plants. I even found an eggplant hidden away that I didn't even know I had!
I'm still pulling out peppers, beets, and kale - and I just started pulling carrots today.
I like to wait as long as possible before harvesting carrots, so I just pulled enough for this week. Gotta be careful not to wait too long, though! A couple years ago the ground froze solid before I harvested them- with an ice pick.

with an ice pick? heh. glad that worked. I look forwar to real gardening next season.
Hi Liz,
I recall a chef, or maybe it was a farmer, talking about the sweetest carrots he ever had...part of what made them so sweet, if I recall right, was the fact that they had been frozen for a period.
Am I remembering that right?
anyway- kudos for milking your long-lasting garden.
