Thought the garden was completely done for the year but went out today and picked a bucket of string beans and there were even some peppers and eggplant left. Sure miss all those great fresh vegetables and fruit we grow. So thankful to be able to eat from our own back yard all summer.
Pretty much all done here to in the Chicago area. Just raking out the occasional leaf from my beds now. I'm already checking out clearance sections of gardening catalogs and making a little Christmas list for myself. Like all gardeners, looking forward to next spring.
I'm putting my garden to bed this weekend. Pulled up the last of the tomato plants and eggplants. I need to put a vinyl sheet over the weeds growing in the bed in my front yard--it'll kill the weeds so hopefully they won't be as bad next year. Cindy

Garden has been put to bed.
