Tuesday another garden day

 Hi Everyone!

This morning in my garden it felt like fall. You know that change in the air?
I pulled all of my onions. For those of you who don't know when onions are ready to harvest the tops fall over.
Like this.
However, because of the weather I had onions bolt and the tops become very thick. I received my newsletter from the onion company that reported due to strange weather this year all over the country onions are taking a hit. It's ether too cold or too hot. Onions bolting and getting thick tops. Boy was I glad to get that email. So today I harvested all of my onions. They will have to cure for about 2 weeks.

 


 


 


 



Squash is still going strong. 
Cucs and pole beans 

Lots of cucs

 


 


 


 



 

 


 


 This plant is loaded with beans. A hummingbird comes every evening to pollinate. 


 This is the beginnings of a cantaloupe. But, I don't think it will have time to mature.
Yellow and winter squash. Hopefully they will have time to produce.
This is what I brought into the house today.
 
I do have a cherry tomato plant but the wind has all but destroyed it.
 

 and not peppers this year either.
OK, with all the trouble growing this year. I am thankful for every little bit I get. 
 
Hope your garden in growing.
Nicole
