Nature's way of telling you time to pick. Even if they aren't quite there, I'd pick and let them finish on a counter or somewhere in the house. They look delicious.

Cantaloupes aren't real big, but they've been delicious.
Honeydew are still a few weeks out.

The last of the harvest! I pulled my remaining green tomatoes yesterday and made a batch of chow-chow, half of which was gone in short order when my sister and a few friends found out, leaving me with half the bounty of a half day's work.
The jars in the center are what's left of a batch of fig preserves I put up last week which suffered the ravages of the same sister and friends.
On the left are my last few tomatoes with the exception of the Romas which are still producing, and the trademark of any true Southern gardener, the late summer okra patch.

Rough carpentry.
Crossing my fingers the thunderstorms forecast for tomorrow don’t come with high winds
And who voted for anything other than the BLT?

Salsa time! The canner will be running nonstop for a few weeks with different salsas, tomatoes, tomatoe sauces and pickles. Sounds like there’s going to be a ketchup shortage. I might have to try my hand at that too.

I was just out looking at my tomatoes and peppers, I'm about a week behind you, time for salsa and spaghetti sauce.

First killer frost of the fall last night. Gardening in MT isn't the most productive

First honeydew from the garden today. Probably needed to get the seeds in the ground earlier, they too 4-5 weeks longer than cantaloupe.
Have beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage and lettuce still going.

My son FaceTimed last night and claimed he ate two apples off the wild trees in the pasture and they are ready. My wife texted me a pic of tomatoes, peppers and beans she picked but was going to give them away because she didn’t have time to process them while I’m hunting.

Mine told me the same thing about our pears so I went out to grab one. They're rock hard. His baby teeth must be sharper than mine in order to even get a bite!
Grasshoppers mowed ours off before we had to worry about frost

Ghost and Carolina Reapers. Started here and matured in VA. Can't wait to taste the hot sauce they make. Bunch more ripening.
