It is amazing how late into the season the grape and cherry tomatoes keep on producing pumping out the fruit. They will keep going till frost.

RobinD said:Went to a Farmer's Market with my niece....surprising how much produce they still had....we had some grape heirloom toms & Orange Pippin apples......I bought an apple called Snapdragon....huge & delish!

I also am surprised how much produce is still growing in the community garden, and on my porch! must have been the long warm summer. That apple sounds so good! Never heard of that variety.

Never heard of snapdragon Apples. Sounds delish though.

My pole beans are going gang busters. Been picking two or three baggies full ever day. Still lots of tomatoes turning red. I don't have the time to pick. The chicken coop has taken all my time. After working a full time job, then four hours on the coop I'm just exhausted. It's getting darker earlier every night.

Yes Rita, it was very good.

Snapdragon is a new variety.....Honey Crisp is one of the parents....very large, red, snappy taste.

Picked this Zuke 2 days ago in my garden......there are many babies, but if we get a frost Sat. night, squash season is over!

Zuke? ??

That is a nice one.

Picked 3 more tomatoes yesterday. Had BLT sandwich for lunch

No toms left except yellow pear, & they are pretty rotty......I've never picked zucchini this late in the year.....

Yellow Pear split and cracked for me so it never amounted to much here.

I long ago pulled my spring planted summer squashes but my mid summer replacement plants are still there. Picked two nice ones myself only a few days ago.

Note to self: plant mid summer cukes and squash next summer!

Just picked a trash bag of kale to mostly freeze for winter use. Only have one neighbor who eats it. Can't believe how much more grew after I pick most of it early September! Gonna take me forever to wash and dry! Still getting tomatoes, lettuce, and peppers, but might be a frost tonight. The garden is in a somewhat protected area, so hoping what's left will be ok. Predicting the 70's on Monday!

Still picking Kale and Tomatoes. Dug all the potatoes and sweet potatoes this morning. Got about 5lbs worth.

Picked kale yesterday for soup.....soaked it in salt & vinegar.....cleaned it beautifully.....my son had 2 bowls, & I sent him home with more......

Sister gave this for decorative purposes. As you can see, neck rotted. So is this a squash or a gourd? Would hate to waste a squash. Anyone recognize it?

Looks like a gourd.....good for decoration! I bought a few pumpkins yesterday...I really like the flat ones!

Very pretty.

I need a few mums, too.....maybe today...

Picked a dozen red tomatoes and 8 more Hungarian peppers today. All that is left is a a couple dozen green toms and a few tiny peppers. Beans still going but I think this weekends cold weather will halt the garden in it's track.
