a couple small pickings so far, a nice side, or two. i planted some Blue Lake Bush, some yellow was bush and contender bush, also... the Kentucky Wonder poles were the tastiest of all! 
30#s! nice, grilled up nice, too. did some peppers other day on my scrounged new SS cook/grill center. big SS rig, had to go thru it etc... but now cooking and grilling up a storm...
) and the vines had died so it was time to get them dug up. I know you can leave them in the ground but the soil here is too heavy for that; they just rot. And the bugs get at them.
swell pix. we have had multiple pickings off our KW pole beans. so tasty, too. and only 12 seeds. might go for more seeds planted next spring. hot side for dinner, cold treats right out of the refer.
swell pix! swell produce, too! Thanks for the post...Wow it's been a while since I've posted here . A lot has changed in the garden!
First off, we dug up the potatoes 3 weeks ago. We've been getting a lot of rain over the last month (I think up to 20" now
Ended up getting these 4 half full rubbermaid totes from my 3 45' rows. Enlisted the help of the in-laws while they were here so I didn't have to do all the work myself.

The aftermath of potato digging. I'm going to prep the far row on the right for a fall planting of garlic. The rest of it will be getting the weeds pulled, but other than that it will sit like this until 2023. My garden is large enough that I only use half to grow vegetables and the other half I leave for the squash to sprawl. I flip the sides each year for rotation.

This is the tomato harvest that we are picking every 5-6 days. I should say were picking; we had a chance of frost a week ago so I pulled anything that was ripe or starting to turn and ended up with this. I think the wife said there was 35 lbs of Roma's alone, not counting the cherry tomatoes. She has been doing a lot of canning with them, pasta sauce, salsa, bbq sauce, tomato soup, and spreads galore. We should be eating good this winter! Needless to say she is getting a bit sick of canning lol.

This was the tomato patch in question. Needless to say it did survive the frost, much to my Wife's chagrin. She was especially unhappy when I told her that all the rain and warm weather is causing them to start flowering again.

I don't think I've ever smiled like this before. I was working in the garden and looked over to see my wife holding my 4 month old daughter while she gets her first touch of the garden plants.

i made a mad dash to get them in and rooted. the bed was full of weeds. i just cleared a spot for the tomatoes. and put some pine needle mulch over the dirt. dashed back inside as the rain drops began. just made it. been in a couple weeks now. one side dressing; 13's. doing well. used some grass cuttings to smother the rest of the weeds, and amped up a bit the tomato's pine needle nests around their bases. bed looks great! well, imo... and flowering, too suggesting some setting might be soon... that is if we ever get our cooler air. snap peas and carrots next on planting agenda...

the 2 full growing seasons we get down here...
Good eye. This was the first year growing delicata and the white acorn. We haven't tried the acorn yet, but we've had a few of the delicata. Let's just say it's going to become the main squash we grow in the future lol. I was a bit disappointed in our spaghetti and butternut squash, though a lot of that had to do with me not getting them planted early enough.
we are still gardening! ~ fall tomatoes going 'gang busters'. leaps n bounds, already got some bigger than golf balls...
