End of Summer Garden

Today's harvest of tomatoes.
And it was time to pick the pumpkins. We left the biggest one on the vine to see if it would get a little bigger. And there were a couple of other vines we left because they were still alive, but we pulled all the dead ones and picked the pumpkins. Here is Samuel counting them. Can't wait to use them for our pumpkin carving party this year.
Someone could have done a better job staking the tomatoes...
The jalapenos and serranos are still going strong.
We cleared out the green beans, soybeans and strawberries. We planted lettuce and kale starts, and carrot, radish and onion seeds. My goal is to keep planting the seeds every couple of weeks so we can have a steady supply. We'll see if that is just wishful thinking.
And we bought three fruit trees that we've been thinking about for awhile. Now we just have to figure out where to plant them. A fuji apple, a 4in1 pear and a 4in1 stone fruit - yellow peaches, yellow nectarines, Santa Rosa plums and Blenheim apricots.
