Taken out most ot the summer garden..tomatoes, peppers and eggplant; planted turnips, peas & beans. They will turn under for spring planting if they fail to mature due to frost. Have more Yukon potatoes to dig and sweet potatoes. Experimented with Spray & grow (internet company in Rockport, Tx) and it did help the orchard to have bigger apples, peaches & apricots. DH decided it was worth it to keep the orchard for next year and not chop the trees down.
Still looking for a source of good "poop" locally here. A horseman nearby decided to "sit" on his and not share, nor is he doing anything with it. Guess he wants to enjoy the BS, excuse me, HS smell. Lol!!
A friend discovered an area auction of certified produce; she had kept me busy canning all summer. Wonderful produce.

We are in No. Fla., and our garden was producing until three weeks ago, so I cleaned it out and then put in a few more tomato plants along with several pepper plants. Will have lots to freeze for winter. All have blossoms on them already.

michigan is winding down. we got some of the garden in really early, then planted a little along. the last of the tomatoes are on the back porch to ripen. i put up enough for us, gave a way lots. and am really glad the season is over. didn't put up tooooo much. for once.

I have a ton of tomatoes that need to turn. I just picked my first red one yesterday.
Since we have just moved into this house, I am cleaning the beds and removing the old and overgrown and preparing them for Spring. I started doing this a few months ago, because I knew it would be too much when Autumn came and majority was going to the compost heap anyway.
I have 4 pots of mint... the rest went straight to the dumpster. I did not even send it to the composter.

I'm finally getting some tomatoes - after a long hot summer, and worms, and bugs and what not bothering them; think I got a handle on the problems now - so might get some for canning yet - mostly juice...
