At the moment all my corn is completed and so are my beans and zucchini. I did not get a good crop of beans this season due to I only had a couple of vines that sprouted and they were planted later than I would have liked. corn I was able to get a good harvest from the two types that I had planted this season.
I was able to save and freeze them in order to have them during the Winter at some point. I also got plenty of zucchini and was happy with the entire harvest of these squash plants. The last of the squash would be my pumpkins which are just about ready for picking. There are only two of them that are not ripe yet, but with time and sun they will be ready by October.
Kale and broccoli are the two cool weather plants that I added into the garden during the springtime. They are normally for the fall and they were most likely not supposed to survive the summer months except for broccoli. At the moment these are the two plants that are continue to thrive now that cool weather is arriving and the hot humid days are over with.
My broccoli is a hybrid plant that is made to withstand the harsh hot weather of the summer months while kale is just for cool weather. Luckily my kale was able to survive the summer and looks like I will be continuing to cut many of the leaves. The rainy summer this year was probably one of the reasons why my kale was able to get through the summer. Both of these plants will probably last far into the fall season.
I also planted some peas that are also another cool weather plants except I decided to plant them in the fall rather the spring. I planted them in the spring last season and they didn't produce or grow that well and that is why I am trying out planting them in the fall. I was also going to plant radishes, but in the end just stuck with my pea seeds instead. I planted them a little while ago and I am hoping that they sprout sometime in the near future.
One last thing that I wanted to mention was the digging up of my potatoes. This was the latest new harvest since the last post and wanted to let you know. For the amount of plants that were in the garden I think I got a pretty decent harvest. I would say that each plant had at least two potatoes and they were about the size of a baseball. Next year I hope to plant much more potatoes similar to last season in order for them to last long into the fall.
