It is already September 1st and the annual plants of the garden are beginning to look tired from the long, hot summer but weighed down with fruits and vegetables. On August 23, we harvested another watermelon, two cantaloupes, pie pumpkins, butternut squash, honeynut squash, acorn squash, cabbage, tomatoes, tomatillos, cucumbers, broccoli, kohlrabi, kale, green beans, celery, and the garden's first eggplant! On August 25, we harvested a grocery bag of tomatoes, tomatillos, a few more cucumbers, butternut squash, acorn squash, shallots, bell peppers, and a pie pumpkin. Finally, this morning we harvested a basket-full of cherry tomatoes, butternut, acorn, and honeynut squashes, cantaloupe, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, and summer's last zucchini (maybe). We also harvested a few rows of potatoes: Goldrush Russet and Red Pontiac.
