The haul today. A mouse got in the garden and kept eating my cucumbers. I'm a little sad to not have a stock pile of pickles this year.
The thief:
Half the corn is ready to harvest. They are so beautiful.

I’m having the same problem lol. I have 5+ gallon freezer bags full of whole tomatoes of various types. And probably another gallon out there ready to be picked. I can’t hardly keep up. But a soup/sauce processing day in the future is going to be sweet.

Garden is almost done. Have 3 green houses going. Two are tomatoes and the one I call Cobble Stone Henge has 3 pickler cucumbers and jalapeños and green peppers in it.
My experiment of growing acorn squash in Cobble Stone didn't do so well. Out of 8 or so plants only got one acorn. Couldn't get it to pollinate even using a brush and trying. Other half said next year to plant some wild flowers just inside the door to invite some bees in.
I have 5 tomato plants topping out at 5 foot tall or so. I have a heater in this green house so going to see how long I can keep them going.
Have carrots to pull and prep for winter and waiting on some cantaloupe to ripen. But each storm is bringing that white stuff to the peaks. I'll pull them and finish them off inside if I have to.
I have a ton of white onions drying for storage. Last time I let the other half talk me into planting 200 starts.
Everyone's pictures of their produce is good looking stuff.
Now to figure out what to do for next season. No more planting spuds. I got some russets and when I pulled them they were Yukon golds. That is twice that has happened around here. The Northern Reds do good but the amount of time and work can buy them cheaper. It's just knowing how your food is grown is worth more to me.
Good going everyone!!

I have a n bunch of tomatoes sitting on the counter and a bunch more that need to be picked. If anyone wants them, they’re yours. I’m done canning for the year.

Pulled and turned over the garden this morning. Our July and August was so dry and hot I didn't bother with any fall sets. One final pick of eggplant and peppers.
Still need to trim and fertilize the asparagus and raspberries, but that will wait till the colder weather gets here.

I have one greenhouse still going with 5 or so tall tomatoes still growing. A week ago or so I trimmed them back just to get through the door. I have vines covering the door again. Just keeping them going for the fun of it now. The rest of the garden is done and put to bed for the season.
