A little Autumn Clean- up

Here we are at mid-October...the 3 long rows of tomatoes needed
cleaning up. I did not keep track of how many pounds of tomatoes the garden
produced, but it was a lot. I have many jars (see..not so good at keeping numbers)
of gravy and whole tomatoes and ketchup and salsa put up.
Here are Princess and Farmer Dad doing the work..




Princess harvested some carrots...

They found a forgotten pear hanging on the back pear tree.

Here are some shots of the cleared space

We still have a tomato growing on the other end of the garden,
along with the peppers (jalepenos,Anaheim and bell peppers-yellow and red)some swiss chard, mustard greens,and carrots.

Jersey Corn!

Yup..we got some.
We have not perfected the growing of corn in our little
space, but we are working on it.This corn was grown by Princess, she started the seeds, planted the seedlings, watered, and harvested. She did not eat it however, she doesn't like corn.
The corn from the community garden plot were much bigger,
but that space gets full sun and we have more shade than sun here
in our little corner of the Garden State.
Princess has been helping Farmer Dad harvest every day.
Yesterday, we brought in peppers,corn,carrots,yellow squash green beans,a cucumber and a zucchini which I did not photograph for some reason.
Princess kept running in with another handful or basket fullof something or other.
"Take a picture of these carrots, look at these beans!!" LOL
I have to harvest some lettuce and swiss chard today and get out there for some pictures of
the tomatoes. They are growing like crazy, especially at the community garden. I have been
staying in the house out of the high humidity the last couple of days.
We are supposed to be in for some gully washing rain in the next few days, and that should
cool things off for a day or an hour.
