There's been some very cool night's lately with frost warnings. So far in the city we've evaded the frost, but my brother on the farm had some almost 2 weeks ago.
Well back to work I guess for this lazy gardener. I've picked all of the tomatoes and pulled the plants out already.
I can't remember the variety of this spinach, but it's been producing very well and hasn't gone to seed in the summer heat. Here I've thinned it out a bit and pulled out some of the leaves that my wife won't go near because of bug bites or discoloring.
Here is some spinach I planted about 2 weeks ago. Its just an experiment to see what I can grow in September.
One little zucchini still growing slowly, I'll leave it as long as I can chance the frost.
One little yellow zucchini is still holding on as well.
Now onto cleaning up the raspberry patch. Basically all I've done here is cut out the old woody stalks.
They're still producing berries into September!
Now heres the surprise, my spaghetti squash plant that I thought was not making any fruit was hiding it all in the raspberries.
There's three of them hiding in here.
These were planted from seeds that I kept out of one of last years sauashes(I found it in the back of the pantry this spring and some of the seeds were already germinated inside).
Is this one turning orange!? What kind of mutant spaghetti pumpkin sauash have I grown?
I'm kind of excited to see what these turn into now.
Maybe I can make a pumpkin spaghetti pie?
How are your winter preparations going? Did your garden perform well this year? Any surprises?

Nice garden man, looks like your making good use of the space. Ours was a total flop, but only because we didn't do anything after tossing in some seeds. I'm sure if we keep up with the early watering when it got dry and weeded it a couple times we would have done fine.
Yeah, it does require some work, even though I consider myself to be a lazy gardener. Cheers Phil.
My pumpkin vines, I grew six just to make sure one might succeed, all did terrible this year. Only one female flower, and it just dried up and fell off. Lots of male flowers through July, August, and September. First time at our new house, so going to have to make some major changes to my soil for next year. Glad you had good results. I think those will harvest nicely in a few weeks.
It sounds like its time for a compost makeover in your yard! I hope you have more success next year.
What a nice garden you have @edthecanadian :). Keep homesteading with awesomeness..
Well, thanks alot-I appreciate it!

Melissa from Florida!
Is it the yellow zucchini your looking at?
The big one that you found the seeds in the cabinet for. :)

Nice use of the space you have for a garden. I am working on mine for next year, do not get one in this year, Had to get a well in first.
Oh yes, water is important. Good luck with your future food adventures.
Looks like your making optimum use of the space you have for your garden and it's doing real well
My Dad was an Abid gardener but I on the other hand only grow weeds well
I'll be completly honest with you: I don't try very hard at all, it's all luck I think.
I think it's more you have a green thumb
:)
Still nice that there is something to harvest. :)
Well last night I picked everything except the carrots. I may dig them out this weekend.
reminds me of the gardening my mother used to do in the summer. We did a lot of eating off it during the winter once the produce was either canned or frozen
Sweet, I love all of these wholesome memories.
