Kohlrabi, onions, and pumpkins didn’t work out, but it had been a banner year for cucumbers. Okra, carrots, watermelons, and butternut squash are all coming in nicely, and haven’t harvested any yet.

@IDFireLass - winning again I guess. Another big haul of tomatoes. Got two more zucchini, two cantelope and a mixture of peppers. Starting to become a chore instead of hobby. I still have a shit ton of tomatoes on the vine. I have about 20 gallons of juice processed so far.

BB you are one sick person to do that many tomatoes. But then again growing is easy back there so why not.
My tomatoes are just producing well now. Of course I'm done making salsa. So giving tomatoes away like crazy. Also the tomato plants didn't do well this season.

Same tomato plant from last year. It took over the green house. Can't grow plants outside too much wind. This year same house the plants are a 1/4 the size of these. Not sure what I did wrong? Last year was hotter. Oh well it's almost done for the season.

Of all my gardening friends I'm the only one having a good year with tomatoes. Not sure why, I don't do anything special.

Tomatoes are finally coming in, and coming in too many at once like always. Tis the season to give away tomatoes!

Our tomatoes are coming on fast too. Wife made salsa last night. Every ingredient except garlic was from the garden.



More tomatoes to be canned this week in waves. We froze another gallon of green beans.

We’re canning corn this afternoon.

 

[IDFireLass]

Makes you feel good when you can grow all of it or most of it.

Pulled the cilantro. It was bolting and I'm done.
Pulled all the ears of corn we could find and then pulled the stocks. Only thing left is the carrots. Don't want to pull them no sooner than I have to. They go into storage.
Down to tomatoes one lonely watermelon and potatoes to dig.
Garden went fast or I just made my mind up and tired of dealing with it this season.

 

[brymoore]

Yesterday’s corn. 80 ears. I still have roughly 3 dozen ears maturing.

Slacking with pictures but 3-4 gallons of beans with another 2.5 not pictured. Also picked another 2.5 gallons cucumbers today. Wife has been busy making relish, refrigerator pickles and normal pickles. Think she’s going to make some bread and butter pickles soon. But cucumbers are almost done thankfully. Corn well I’m not sure if we Will get any cobs or not. Carrots and potatoes are ready but will leave them in the ground until later in the fall. We have also been busy grating and freezing zucchini for various baking all winter

Still waiting for tomatoes but this was a nice haul after getting home from a camping trip. Zucchinis are definitely getting away from me but it has been delicious to bake with.

Dug my russets this morning. What a waste of time effort money and water. We scraped the whole lot. Pulled up the whole TowMayToe house. They weren't producing and didn't need them. Amish house has some really nice big slicing tomatoes plus a heater. Pulled the watermelon.
Down to carrots and tomatoes to take care of.
Will be watching the temps hard now and if it looks like a freeze will have to pull the carrots. They freeze real easy in raised beds here.
Have 2 ten pound sacks of onions sacked up. Waiting on the rest to dry before sacking them up.
Just tired of watering and ready to move on.

We (my wife) have primarily a squash and tomato garden with a solid pumpkin plant, cukes, and some basil. Squash are kicking ass this year (butternut, acorn, delicata). Tomatoes kick ass every year.

In the past we’ve tried and mostly failed on snap peas, sweet potatoes, and watermelon. Usually grow a pile of zucchini, but we struggled to use it.

Wind Gypsy, how do you find anything? What a nice looking place! Amazing when you don't live in the high desert what you can grow and what a green world looks like.

I just got back home in central WY from a trip to where I grew up in central MN. Was it ever green! Amazing how green it really gets as we traveled east in SD and then how drab and dreary it got as we went west through SD on the return trip.

 

[IDFireLass]

Amazing what good soil, warm temps and rain does for the country side.

Fall stuff is in except for some lettuce, onions, and garlic. Garlic won't be available until the end of the month but the rest I need to get in the ground next week. We've been enjoying a nice cool spell, but now have a couple more 90 degree days before another cold spell. Been pretty dry here, running the irrigation every day to let the brassicas establish.

We’re near the end. I picked the last of the corn. I have 6 ears left in the garden to mature. I’ll probably pull all the corn before that happens.

Tomatoes continue to ripen. Peppers look good. Watching the weather for frost but forecast is good for 10 more days.

Beans are still producing. Butternut squash are turning tan. I forgot to look at the musc de Provence squash. We have a couple big ones for pumpkin pie that need to turn orange.

Garden better hurry up. I’m away from the house all but 3 days in the month starting September 20th for elk-deer-elk hunts.

Still making tomato juice.
