December Harvest of Leftovers

Dead vines still yielding things to eat

I found a couple of cherry plum tomatoes in my garden, hiding among the dead foliage. Homegrown tomatoes fresh off the vine in December! What a treat. Also among the dead foliage: several handfuls of never ending sour Mexican gherkins.

The Italian flatleaf parsley I started from seed way back in May is still thin but still verdant and giving up enough sprigs  for small batches of chimichuri.   The patch of spinach, lettuce and kale I am growing under a cover contributed a garnish of sprigs for the tableau of my backyard harvest on Dec. 2.
