Back to the garden!

I admit that other than watering I hadn’t looked at it for a week. The garden is clearly on the wane. The corn was a bust, I picked what little there was and we ate that last weekend. My tomatoes on the counter are ripe and are in the canner as I type. I found lots of beans last night! They are taken care of and in the freezer. No more ripe squash and I see no zucchini even growing. Very sad, I have really enjoyed that this summer.

There will be more summer squash in a few days. I think I finally have 3 peppers out there. I do hope they get a little bit bigger. There will be lots more tomatoes and probably beans. I am still hoping to see a winter squash turn up somewhere. And brocolli! I’m glad I didn’t pull those unindentified plants. But I think I figured out that you are meant to pick it before it turns to flowers :p Ah well, I was hoping it was going to get bigger. I still see some hope for more goodies before we are done for the year, and I can’t call it a failure. Thus far only 4 quarts of tomatoes, 8 bags of beans and all that I got to enjoy all summer long.
