Sorry, folks, I've been MIA, I know. Life's been pretty brutal lately and I just haven't had time to be online too much.
I pulled the jalapenos finally and dehydrated the last crop of them. I still have onions in the ground, believe it or not! I pulled one yesterday and it wasn't as big as my fist, but it wasn't far from it, either. I have no idea what the carrots are doing under there. There are some baby broccoli growing and my lettuce is still doing OK. It's been raining all day and it's going to get close to freezing tonight so I went out and covered them up.
I know I'm going to have to call it done here pretty soon, but I'm enjoying seeing how far I can stretch the growing season here without hoops or a green house.
Sorry, forgot the picture! lol
I'm Tina. I'm a country gal, mom to three, military wife, caretaker of my husband's grandmother (she lives with us) and fairly convinced I was born decades too late. Come join our chaos and fun!

Fall Garden
I got the small Fall garden in this morning. It was cool enough still that I went out barefoot and worked in the cool dirt. That's one of the best things about gardening to me, a bit of cool dirt on your feet and between your toes, feeling how fluffy it is (hopefully - ha) and knowing that what you're doing to improve your soil is working.
I cleaned out the last two zucchinis (and man, did the squash bugs come crawling out!), the last bell pepper and some cucumbers. There are still a few cucumber vines out there but I'll probably remove them within a week, they are starting to wilt and die back. The honey dew melon vines are dying, too, which is too bad, because there are four small honey dews out there.
Tomatoes are still loaded with green tomatoes but I'm not getting nearly as many red ones daily as before. Will probably end up pulling those and hanging them in the basement to ripen during the cold weather.
Jalapenos are still going strong, they are loving the heat.
I planted carrots, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower out there this morning. After I pull the cucumbers and melons I'll put in more of these same things because I have seeds left.
I don't have a picture to share, there's nothing to see but dirt and sweaty me and you don't want to see that! lol
