Summer is closing in around us and Fall is on its way and will be here before we know it. Our garden has been good to us! We ate as much as we could, froze some (we will can next year in the new house, no space this year), we gave away as much as folks would take, and the rest went to the compost pile (food for the earth).I have spent the past few days cleaning up the garden, and by cleaning I mean pulling the dying plants and trimming back what is left. Here are some photos of the last few harvests. I hope we are just as successful next year and every other after!

too many cherry tomatoes to eat them all

 |
yellow tomatoes, suppose to be that color
and the blight is starting to take over as you can see |
