The second season garden is planted with cool weather plants (collard, cabbage, carrot, radish, beets, pumpkin) and they are sprouting and growing like crazy. The okra, peppers and peanut plants from this summers' planting are still growing and producing. I expect to harvest the peanuts soon though.

We had a welcome respite from the heat in the form of about 3" of rain last night in the Hill Country. Today's temps are in the lower 80's and humid. It'll be time to gas up the mower and mow again. All this rain causes the grass to grow.

I have Iraquois melons growing like crazy, but it will be a race to beat the frost. I have a few bush beans to pick, and the fall lettuce to harvest.

Going to plant some lettuce and spinach in pots. It will soon be time to chop of all the tomato limbs, strip off some leaves, and stick them in a big pot of soil to bring indoors.

Did this last year, and most of them rooted - the green tomatoes ripened, and I hand pollinated the flowers and got quite a few new tomatoes grown indoors.
