The harvest of the garden in November
The winter vegetables to harvest at this time of year, and which will delight your kitchen, are your root vegetables, such as turnips, carrots, red beets and celeriacs.
You can either freeze them or keep them in your basement. Broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts are to be delicately extracted by rotating them at the foot.
Your squash needs its harvest when its peduncle is dry. And if you have leeks, radishes and parsley left, it’s also time to take them out of the ground to flavour your delicious winter soups.
For a seasonal fruit salad, citrus, apples, pears and kiwis are harvested. If exoticism carried you with fervor, also harvest your kakis, kiwis and grenades.

Gardening ideas
November is a very important month for the maintenance of the garden and the maintenance of the vegetable garden during the winter cold, because it is the time to put in place all the necessary precautions to protect the garden and help it weather the winter cold.
- In the greenhouse, turn the heat back on and apply insulation such as bubble wrap, which will save you 5 degrees of heat and keep sensitive plants at a sustainable temperature.
- Flowers: You can also plant thoughts, myosotis and daisies, but also the cloves that will bloom in the spring. I suggest you trim your roses. To do this, cut to half their current length, this will avoid bending under the weight of the snow. Enjoy to butter their feet and put the beautiful last flowers in a vase! Help your perennial plants to recover better when sunny days arrive. Thus, you can cut their branches to 15 cm from the ground.
- Shrubs: Plant your shrubs in containers after soaking them in water.
- The forced bulb method is to grow a plant out of season. It is to put the bulbs in a pot, enclosed in a cardboard box. Once germination is high, you keep them warm inside to enjoy beautiful flowers! Tulips, daffodils and hyacinths are the most suitable.
As you will understand, you still have the opportunity to spend time in your garden in November. Take advantage of this special period to admire the fabulous nature and find it even more fertile in a few months.
