Finally my harvests are coming in

Yesterday, I didn't go out to the garden at all. I had my first Actemra infusion and it totally wiped me out. You can read about it here.

Today, however, I went out into the garden between rain showers. I was able to get a bunch of things. One more zucchini was ready. Those plants are pretty much done, but I seem to keep getting one or two a couple of times a week. I also picked a couple of big cucumbers and 4 pickling cucumbers.

 Oh and I got one lonely green bean off what was left of the bush beans that the groundhog ate. I did plant more for a small fall harvest though. I also have my pole beans, which are looking super good now. Woot!

My green peppers are growing like mad, and I pulled 8 of the biggest ones off my plants so that the others have the chance and room to grow. These plants seem to be making up for the bad pepper year last year.

My tomatoes are starting to come in finally. I picked a bunch of romas today and one big beef. Some of the romas are not fully red, well most of them. I have a lot of birds in the yard and the last thing I want is them munching on them when they are bright red. So I have been picking them when they show a little color and let them finish ripening up inside. My cherry tomatoes are so packed in with both leaves and fruit that I almost happened to miss seeing the 4 that were very ripe. Two of them had split so they went into my compost. But we have two little guys. There are tons more on the plants.

The butternut squash is producing tons and tons of fruit. As of yesterday, I have counted 42 fruits growing. I have already let my neighbors know to expect some and this little restaurant that the hubby goes to for lunch everyday is going to take a bunch as well. The hubby loves butternut squash, but he doesn't need this many. LOL. I planted 13 plants with the expectation that not all will produce. Ya right. They all grew and are going nuts.

The pumpkin plants are growing really well too. They have started to go up the pole bean trellis and even up the sunflowers. LOL. Next year I will be planting these somewhere else in the garden so the vines have someplace better to go. I even have a baby pumpkin growing now. I planted these kinda late, so not sure if I will have pumpkins in time for fall carving.

Aren't the pole beans looking super? I am soooo happy that they made a comeback after Mrs. groundhog ate them. And look, I even have little beans growing!! There are a bunch of flowers all over the plants too. My sunflowers are still growing tall. I planted these late as well, so if I can get seeds out of them, I will be happy, if not, I will plant them early next year. I still have plenty of seeds left. I have them right next to my pole beans. You can see them in the second pole bean picture above.

My fall garden is growing nice. I have snap peas, romaine lettuce, butter head lettuce and carrots growing in one bed. My bush beans are growing in another bed. The bed that the other bush beans were in.  It has been really cool and fall like this whole month so far. I think we had one kinda hot day when it was mid 80's, but the rest of the time it has been in the 70's with lows of the 50's. So the fall garden has been loving this weather, my tomatoes, not so much. Oh well. Can't please everyone.
