Ah, the peas have only recently sprung… oh well it’s practice.

The tomatoes are still ripening and looking healthy but will probably be on their way out as it’s getting colder.

rip pumpkins out

crying Do I have to?

I’ve got around 6 of these little guys. Two I pollinated today and four are starting to plump.

I do have some onions I was going to take to the pantry but can’t make it down. I could find space in the soil.

Um, I know it hurts, but the pumpkins are unlikely to ripen. Ditto tomatoes. It's not the temperature, its the day length. The equinox is past and the days are getting shorter so plant puts one last effort into fruiting then keels over. Maybe leave them another week just to see. They do look nice & healthy though.

You’re right of course. I planted when I should have been harvesting. I just don’t know if I can bring myself to do it
