Fall Planting, Harvesting

I did some planting today: Swiss chard and garlic. I also harvested jerusalem artichokes, one final pea pod, two small onions, and lots of tarragon, fennel and chives. Last week I harvested the garlic we had planted last summer.

The Jerusalem artichokes are growing quite tall. Underneath them the soil is cool, shaded, moist. It's like a forest floor. Here's a photo of the artichoke plants:
