Weather is definitely cooling down now. Dropping into the 50's at night.
Good thing for green beans. Been picking them every couple of days in huge amounts.
Tomatoes are still producing. They accelerated once temps started dropping below mid-90's. This weekend, I placed black plastic around the bases of the best producing plants. Keep the roots warm and try to extend the harvest just a little longer. With that, I'm really happy for the drip system!
Pumpkins are still doing fairly well. Some vines died off but others have grown up that I planted later. Have several large variety pumpkins growing now. Several in the front yard. The vines in the front have grown nearly all the way across the front! Looks really cool!
Got out and took down the sunflowers. Knew they were big from a distance but up close a few were shocking! Biggest one was over 18" across and over 5 lbs, mostly dry! Saving seeds from a variety of them.
Giant corn has topped out at about 16 ft. Waiting for the corn itself now.
Aside from weeds, been a really good season!
