Brussel sprouts and greens, last garden hold outs of the season

Our milder than usual start to winter has allowed many crops to continue growing well. I hoped to use my own Brussel sprouts for our day after Christmas dinner at home and was able to pick them not long before we ate them.  Also picked and cooked some assorted late kale and greens. I do wonder if this very late starting winter has affected the garlic, won't know until next summer.

Hopefully I will grow a larger crop of Brussel sprouts next year.

I think this is larger than fall planted garlic should have gotten before winter sets in.

Felix didn't help harvest the late crops, he stayed indoors all cozy.
