FALL PLANTING AND STILL HARVESTING SUMMER VEGGIES!

COWHORNS
What a beautiful weekend!  Temperatures in the low 70's, just love it!  There's nothing better than working in the garden all day and not even breaking a sweat.  :)

I can't seem to harvest the cowhorns fast enough.  The plants are healthy with lots of blooms even still.  I'm guessing they will keep going until at least our first frost.  There are also red bell peppers that have finally bore fruit, just waiting for them to turn red along with the eggplant which is also still putting out fruit.
SWEET POTATO VINES
The sweet potato vines are hanging in, bug damage which I can't seem to get under control, I only hope there are actually potatoes growing and they are not affected by the bugs.  There is also watermelon vines that are beautiful and healthy but have not produced anything.  It should probably come out to make room for more fall/winter veggies but I don't have the heart to remove a healthy plant.

So far there are seedlings coming up, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale and radishes.  This weekend, I succession planted more of the above along with different varieties of lettuce.   It may be a bit late for some, but as with everything in the garden, if it grows, it grows.  ;)

Enjoy the photos, video coming soon.

Happy Fall and Happy Harvest to all!
