The leaves are changing colors and our little garden is nearing it's productive end for this year. We are still getting a great deal of tomatoes. These plants are growing as if winter doesn't exist. The news is reporting a hard frost tonight, so it's likely that the tomato plants will expire tomorrow. The pole beans and bitter melons are still producing, though in reduced quantities now. They will yield a bit longer than the tomatoes, perhaps into early November. The peppers have just begun to yield, which meant that we need to plant them earlier next year.
The Kale failed again this year due to the depredations of rabbits. And the turnips are suffering a bit due to green worms. Still we should have some turnips this year. In total we harvested 70lbs of tomatoes, 15lbs of beans, 13lbs of bitter melon, and 4 lbs of peppers in the last 2 weeks.
