more fall planting....

it was nice to have a bit of a low key day out at the garden.

we’re waiting for the green tomatoes to turn, although, we do have some isis candy tomatoes that have been ready. and a cherokee purple is days away from being ready!

the corn is starting to plump out while the lady bugs and friends are fattening up on all the aphids.

we might get some more beans if we can keep the groundhogs out. there was a break in the other day, but other than that they have been staying away lately.

i still have hope for the acorn squash…i know the battle is pretty much over, but plants can come out of crazy circumstances and flourish. it may not flourish, but it might put up a few new leaves and that would be enough for me.

the serpent gourds are ridiculous and phallic. i thought they would be less phallic and more serpenty. oh well, the plant has been going crazy. we probably won’t have this in the garden next year, although it may be on the outside because it looks so pretty and was left alone by most pests doing much damage.

i’m excited for the promise of a fall harvest of greens, etc. and i’m getting excited to start planning for next year! i just need to keep my pants on and wait to start planning until most of the garden is done for this year.
