Harvest Monday: October 13, 2014 (Happy Thanksgiving Canada!)


What better use for a fall harvest than for a Thanksgiving Day celebration!  Well, I think most of us have dinner on Sunday as it's most convenient for people who are traveling.  So yesterday, I used some of my recent harvest to make this pasta with sausage, pumpkin, sage and kale (the last two from my garden).


 I also harvested some parsley, thyme, rosemary and a wee little broccoli - the last I have of it.  Although it is too late to expect side shoots, I have left the broccoli in the garden in the hopes that the deer will nibble it rather than the cabbage planted right next to it.
 
And I managed to fit in a bit of cleanup work over the holiday weekend such as weeding the tomato garden.  I dug up some potatoes from a volunteer plant - I'm surprised I didn't dig up more as I thought I had a few volunteers in that garden.



And that's it.  Pop by Daphne's Dandelions for a view of what other folks are harvesting this weekend!

  1. Happy Thanksgiving, Susie! I see you did the herb & broccoli harvest like me - never thought to do a pasta for Thanksgiving but it does sound delicious! Those potatoes look great, btw.

    1. I love being able to feed friends and family from the garden, it seems so much more special somehow.

  3. Happy Thanksgiving. Very nice, sausage, pumpkin and sage is a great flavor combination. Now I have to go see if I can rescue my sage plant from the brambles that invaded my herb garden.

  6. I'm sure the pasta complimented the other, more traditional Thanksgiving foods. It looks wonderful.
