update

...better late than never. Many of our plants have put on some beautiful new growth, and we are getting into some serious harvests. Whew. Here is some delicious "fairy tale" eggplant. We are have some gorgeous tomatoes, and snap and shelling beans are beginning to go crazy!

If the weather hasn't been strange enough, we have had night temperatures dip into the 40s, with frost warnings up north. If it's not one thing, it's another. I'd be fine with a late-mid October frost, personally. I don't mind cool crisp fall days, but I having just barely sampled summer's delicious bounty, I would like to keep the heat around for a good few weeks.

the great garlic harvest

After weeding, mulching, fertilizing, and nine long months of waiting, they are all finally out of the ground and hanging in the barn to cure. There will be much eating, rejoicing (and guaranteed no vampires) in the months to come!
