Still harvesting

I fully expected to be writing a veg garden wrap-up post by now. Last weekend I pulled the squash, pumpkin and gourd plants out. But I’m still harvesting elsewhere. And it’s not just the raspberries – they will go until we get a good frost.

Even the cherry tomatoes aren’t a huger shocker

I’ve grown this variety before and they put out fruit until the cold weather stops them.

But I was sure I’d picked my last cucumber. I went out to pick some raspberries and spied a good-sized one hanging there.

And on closer inspection found three more, including one so big my old neighbour would have dubbed it a WHOMPER!.

I was sure the Cucamelons would start slowing down with the cooler nights…

But I’m actually getting more than I did at the height of summer!

And I’m even still getting beans!

Not a lot (thank goodness – I’m totally over beans!), but enough to give Dave a snack every other day. The bean plants are starting to look tired though – they’ve got to give up sometime soon!

And last…

I planted some more carrot seeds after I pulled the garlic. I’m leaving them for as long as possible. I don’t expect them to be huge – but like the beans, they should be enough to give Dave one last summer-like snack!

  1. It just keeps giving! I have to say the produce The Mister brought home from the farmer’s market yesterday was not the best quality. I think the local growing season is pretty much over.
