Tomatoes Keep producing
As the days get shorter and there is more to do, it it becoming more difficult to get over to the vegetable garden. That said, it has been a week since my last visit, temperatures are definitely autumnal and the daylight is diminishing.
The garden as a whole looks pretty shaggy.
I think the eggplant and the peppers still look the healthiest.
The acorn squash has done OK.
The fall planting of radish, and beets hopefully will produce viable fruit.
There are still many green tomatoes on the vine so we should get at least a couple more hauls before anticipated first frost. (Oct 15) The trick will be to get out to the plot and harvest all the greenones before they are frost damaged.
Overall yesterday was a good harvest! I'll be busy today putting up more tomato sauce. Those feet belong to some helpers!
Until next time Keep Digging & Eat Well!

A Wednesday night harvest
I cut the lawn tonight after a several week hiatus. I'm sure the neighbors were happy. Having a lawn sack of cut grass required a trip to the garden and the compost heap.
The compost pile grows higher, we may have to extend its footprint. Peeked at the garden.
I think we will remove the bush beans and try for another crop - we'll see. Beets and carrots will be harvested and replanted. The tomatos are just staring to come in.
Did I mention the mosquitos were ferocious? They were chowing down as fast as I could swat at them.
After going over the harvest with the landowner, this is our share.

Clockwise we have : Beets - (I'll be making a beet ginger relish), carrots, tomatos, cherry peppers, japanese eggplant, cucumber - these are delicious white!
This should make for good eating for a few days!
Eat Well!
