The community garden plot’s down to the kale, sprouting broccoli and collards. The calendula just didn’t look happy anymore – now that it’s November, it has gotten a bit colder, so I pulled those out yesterday. We’ll see how much longer the above lasts. It looks very weird over there with so many
Between the fact that we’re getting a nor’easter tonight (just with rain instead of snow, woo!), and that the official check out day for the garden is Wednesday, I pulled out a whole bunch of things from the community bed this morning. I did have one tomato plant left, but wanted that cage and stake
It’s been warm so far this October. Like, I’m currently wearing shorts, and had dinner outside last night warm. So things are still growing better than they really should be. Last weekend, I pulled out one of the two cherry tomatoes in the side garden – the Sweet 100’s had succumbed to blight.
Harvest notes: Pictures are from 10/5, 10/8 (2), 10/10 and 10/15. (Picture quality is suffering since it’s now so much darker after work.)I pulled out all the poblanos that were left on the plants yesterday. They haven’t gotten any bigger, so I figured better safe than sorry about this point.

I’m getting things from the garden pretty much every other day now. (This should feature a third pictures from Friday that involved kale and tomatoes, but was just too dark to salvage.)
I’m getting something each time I step into the garden(s) now – this was Wednesday – all the nightshades. We finally got some rain on Friday, so the zucchini are off and running again. (This is from today – quiet a few of the cherry tomatoes has burst from all the water.) I took
The big tomatoes are finally starting to turn! This particular one is probably in the sunniest location in the plot, so here’s hoping the rest follow suit soon. The above was Saturday’s haul, looking a bit like a still life.
