Two weeks of growth on the second garden of the year. Peppers, tomato, cabbage, and lettuce are growing well in the cooler temps, and the little rain we recently had helped. The apple trees are slated to go in the ground in December/January when they are dormant.

Great pictures, and what a nice tidy garden. My garden season is winding down. It has been a roller coaster ride this season. Too wet in the spring to plant, then the month of July was a blast furnace and no rain. August got too much rain and wind at one time. Now it has cooled off but need rain. I keep watching the night time temps to know when I have to pull the sweet potato vines out so they won’t freeze. I have 6 rows of Purple Queen beans just starting to bloom and I am concerned they will not mature before the first freeze.

Now that I have started typing I could go on and on about the winding down of gardening season 2011.

I just shipped off 2 boxes of slugs and snails to your address. Need any other pest or disease?
