Snow carpets the last of the beets and carrots. Some kale and collards still survive, as does the mint sheltered near the garage. Temperatures are set to drop to below -7 C, so this is the last of the 2018 vegetable garden season. What a fantastic year!

| Beets and Collards from November Garden in Edmonton |
This year, we grew beets in a raised bed in light, fertile soil. Best crop ever. We planted the traditional Detroit red beets. Beet greens are delicious, too, in salads, smoothies and as a cooked side dish, mixed with chard, kale and collards. We often have sauteed garden greens, with salmon, for a healthy supper.
For a second year, we canned a few jars of beets for a winter treat.
