All of the drying corn stalks have toppled with the autumn winds. The intricate bean vines of that bed have collapsed with the stalks. But out of the old and dying, emerges the new. The humble eggplant which has done not so well this year has rebounded with a vengeance, it has doubled in size over the last week. The onions are rapidly fading away, I suspect that one more cutting is all that it'll yield this year. The turnips will provide one more harvest. I am going to leave 1 bed planted with beets and another with the remaining turnips to overwinter. These two crops will yield a fine early spring harvest. The other two beds will be covered with dried bean vines and clover. The beans and tomatoes continue to yield, but they are both fading fast now. In a month, both shall be gone, alas, death is an intricate part of life's tapestry.
In any case, 15 lbs of beans, and 4 lbs of tomatoes were harvested this weekend.
