Exactly! - Last year i had so many tomatoes that the dux fled when they saw me carrying the baskets. - »Oh no! Not again tomatoes for dinner!«We're also being told that the first freeze is just around the corner but it hasn't happened yet. Start of November is not at all unusual; some years there is a quick one in the first days of October just to mess with everybody's autumn bean harvest.
The season was a little unusual at first (April and June traded places temperature-wise). In the end, a very good crop of potatos and tomatos, a great one of apples, very poor winter squash (only a few and on the small side), garlic sadly overgrown and miniature because of humans occupied by other problems... That's why we grow EVERYTHING, something's bound to come out a winner every year
This year almost nothing because of the drought. But the pepper and chilly harvest was very good. Have my freezer full for me and the ducks.
Squashes, zucchini, cucumber and pumpkin was a mixed bag, the early ones did very well, the late ones not so good due to dry soil.
