Summer 2014 Garden Updates

Well it is September and the garden,while still producing, is winding down and looking rather tired. We have had a great bounty this summer of tomatoes, green beans, yellow squash, magda zucchini, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, basil, and several nice winter squash–acorn, butternut, delicata and sweet dumpling. It's been a manageable harvest throughout the summer, giving us just what we can eat, or can, and a little to give away to friends.

I have one eggplant out there that survived and flowered, but no fruit. Wouldn't it be funny if an eggplant started to grow now, at the end of summer? Maybe I could protect it from the cold and actually harvest a fall eggplant?

I am thinking of putting in some onions over the fall winter period. Will have to look this up to see just when is the best time to plant onions.

More later, with photos...
