Fall Veggie Transplants & Today's Harvest

Fall is here, and so is the beautiful Texas weather that I live for.  Every moment that I can spend outside in the garden, I do.  

A few days ago, I bought some fall veggie transplants and got them into the ground.  First, I had to clean up one of the beds for the veggies.  It wasn't too difficult, since before South Africa, I had turned the beds and tried to plant some seeds, which never really came up.  I also tore out all the dead marigolds.

Then, I planted the transplants, along with a few seeds.

From left to right I planted:

• 1 Toscano Kale (transplant)
• Dwarf Blue Curled Vates Kale (seeds)
• 2 Gypsy Broccoli (transplants)
• 2 Calabrese Broccoli (transplants)
• 1 Marathon Broccoli (transplant)
• 4 Brussel Sprout - unknown variety (transplants)
• 1 Long Island Brussel Sprout (transplant)
• 1 Nautical Brussel Sprout (transplant)
• Lacinato Kale (seeds)
• 3 Kale - unknown variety (transplants)
• and along the trellis - Mammoth Melting Sugar Peas (seeds)

While it may be fall, I still have a few summer veggie plants (peppers and eggplant) that are still producing, so they will stay in the beds until the are no longer fruitful.  Today I harvested the below.  I'm not quite sure why the eggplant turned yellow, but I assume it has something to do with staying on the plant for quite awhile, since this is my first harvest after being away from home for almost 3 weeks.
