Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I checked the windshield for frost this morning and wasn't any, just wet dew. Tomorrow morning though I expect frost, so today is picking day, squash, tomatoes, beans, all of them.

I planted my fall green beans too late. They just started blooming a week ago so no chance of them producing. I'll pull all of them up too and give the plants to the chickens.

I'll do all the garden work this afternoon after everything dries up. I need to put two habanero pepper plants in pots today too, so I can grow them indoors this winter.
 
I planted a row of fall green beans today, same spot that the first row of bush beans was planted. According to the maturity date there should be beans for picking by mid October if the frost doesn't get them first.
Found it. I planted the beans seeds August 19th. Should've planted them mid-July.

Ugh same here, meant to put them in earlier and kept forgetting, and they're just blooming now.

My chickens love eating the leaves with no ill effects.

I got ALL the tomatoes picked, most were green, and threw all the plants into the woods. Picked all 14 butternut squash and a giant zucchini and threw those plants to the birds too.

Pulled up all the dead, dry dill plants and rubbed all the seeds off into the garden to get next year's dill crop planted.

I'm going to cover the habanero plants with buckets again tonight since I don't have the energy to pot them up. Green beans on the Blue Lake vines, I'm hoping to get those picked. There aren't a lot, probably one meal's worth.

The big zucchini is bright yellow on the bottom, so I hope it's mature enough that the seeds will grow. I'll let it sit inside for a month before I cut into it. I read that seeds continue maturing even after a squash is cut from the vine.
