Nice looking garden and harvest, Mark.  Yes, the years and seasons do run by faster and faster.  I'm just hoping my orchard produces while I'm here to enjoy it!  If not, hoping that the next land steward will appreciate my work, and reap the benefit.

What you growing there, Dan???

taters, they should make a crop before it gets too cold here

Love me some taters! I planted Adirondack Red this year. Beautiful red skin, very pink flesh! Made some corn chowder with the red potatoes, and put some ham in it. It was awesome!!! may do it again, and toss in some kale!

Ha! Trying to figure out the multi quotes I posted this with no comments.

Thanks! The next guy will probably put in a pool here & we'll still be in a drought. My Pluots did well, as did my Apricots & figs. Asian pear & cherries not so much.

Nice harvest.

Thanks!

How do you know when to harvest sweet potatoes? (I've got nine plants and no clue....)

They'll flower & start to die back a bit. They apparently don't need to flower much though. Should take about 100 to 120 days
