So how is your garden winding down ?

I have mixed results. My over crowded tomatoes didn't do well, they are still in the ground but not much is ripening. Jalapenos did pretty good, picked a bunch and have a lot still on the plants. More zucchini and yellow squash than I knew what to do with. Lots of beets. About 2 bushels of acorn squash that are delicious, tender and creamy tasting. A bale of basil and oregano. Lots of poblano peppers, got a thousand bell peppers the size of thimbles. Cayenne peppers did well. My second crop of greens was discovered by something that enjoyed it...

All in all not bad...I learned a lot and mostly enjoyed the lessons.

Mine got out of control with weeds. I planted way too much because nobody knew what the food shortages would be like after the shortages with stuff in the spring. I still have really good tomatoes, peppers, butternut squash. There are still zucchini in the garden, they will probably stay there. We had more cucumbers than we could use.  I think the raccoons got more of my corn than I did but I had plenty. The finches and the cardinals are enjoying the sunflowers now.

It still looks the same to me.

Keeping the outdoor plants indoors over the winter gives you a little bit of summer all winter, a slender thread to cling to when the day is 6 hours of light and many hours of gloom.

Yes it is...unless I forget to water it...

I’m pushing my luck right now with my plants. We are running  night time temps of 35. If they guessed wrong and it hits 32 I won’t be bringing in as many plants.

Mine has been in a state of suspended animation all summer. Just not producing anything atoll.

Winding down? I'm just getting ready to plant. After mowing the yard yesterday, while still grungy, shallow cut/hoe the weeds, added Black Cow and tilled in. Nice rain last night to prep the soft soil and will begin planting the autumn crop - radishes, carrots, greens and squash. May try to sneak in a tomato but may be too late.

We had a few frosts so most stuff is done. We still have carrots, beets and winter squash. Might even have some tomatoes too.

My wild flower garden is looking pretty good still.
