It looks like we have a couple more nights that are "safe," then the temps are going to be dipping near, if not at, freezing. (I have to think the full moon has something to do with that!) Everything is pretty well done anyway, peppers have all been pulled out and we've started pulling out the tomato plants - which I expect to finish tomorrow, along with planting the garlic. We've had a pretty nice stretch (at least a week) of dry weather, and Wednesday is supposed to be rainy, so it should be perfect for tilling up the garlic patch and getting that taken care of.
After fertilizing the pole beans back around the end of August, after they had pretty much "shut down" - with no more flowers or beans on the vines - I think we have picked at least as many beans as we did earlier in the season (and since I already had plenty frozen for the winter, we have given a LOT of beans away!).
Looks like tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day to spend in the garden - the high is supposed to be around 70°F so it might even be warm enough to have a cocktail on the deck after the gardening chores are finished!
