End of the tomatoes

They were still getting ripe, but more slowly. Still, I thought it was time to put them out of their misery, because I'm going to have to clean up the garden sometime. There are also still green beans. And I even picked a few raspberries. This is surprising because everything has usually come to an end by mid-October, but I guess the weather has been warmer this year.

But it's really time to leave the garden. The garlic is sprouting well, and I anticipate lots next year. Critters don't like it. The herbs will reach an end with colder weather which is bound to come soon. So, like the Nationals, I have to say "wait till next year."

Still harvesting

For the past few weeks, I've been getting about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of raspberries every couple of days, some tomatoes every few days, and quite a few green beans. I think maybe the last zucchini has finally given up...but maybe not? This is surprising, and will also push off my final garden clean-up for a while.

And I planted lots of garlic---a double row. It's coming up and getting ready for the winter.
