Amazing that you can grow pumpkins that large in your short season! Did you actually eat them?

they look like atlantic giants - so I hope not.

Looking good. You have been scarce with your pictures this year. Everything looks so healthy. I have my onions in their own special location now, but not quite as pretty as the ones in your picture. The bulbs you sent a few years back put me in business. Thanks

Hey! This post is for you all to add pics too. Come on lets see your gardens.

Those long green ones in my picture are hot peppers. Sorry I don't know the variety name.

I'm so jealous. I hate being in a subdivision with a small backyard with hard as a rock soil.

Getting the apples pressed.

Going back to this one -- so are we looking at your apple harvest? You take them somewhere to be pressed into apple cider and put into jugs/bottles? Are they sold or do you take them home?

More details please?

It's amazing what you do with your short season. You are almost two months past your first frost date, are you still harvesting anything from your garden?

All I have is some herbs, swiss chard (which has toughened up from the freezes and I would no longer use it raw, but can be cooked) and garlic for next year.

Harvesting? No, nothing this late. If you don't grow them, may I suggest Egyptian Onions? You keep a perennial clump to make the little bulbils that you then plant to make scallions, or they can be eaten.

I did plant several rows of garlic. I saved all the largest bulbs I got from last year for planting and when I went to planting it was considerable more than I thought it was going to be. So I ended up with quite a garlic patch. I should have garlic next season?

About the apples, yes the guy presses them for me and I take the juice home. Some is used fresh, some frozen for later and some distributed to friends and relatives. I have not sold it. You need about ten bushel for the man to be worth his time to press it. He wants to fill the press up, not run a small batch, so you end up with a big batch of juice. We have at times bottled it in quart jars and processed it for long term shelf storage. I am not into wine, but the apple juice can be used to make wine if you are so inclined.
