I’ll either cut the vines and hang them inside or put the green ones on paper on trays to ripen. If someone else wants to take some to make fried green tomatoes its up to her!
Still waiting on my fig tree. They now have some in stock but I want black figs because the fruit is sweet and the plant is better suited for pruning with no ill effects. They said another week.
Harvested my first squash of the fall. Technically it was a zucchini, but at the winter-squash stage because I wanted the seeds. And there are a few butternut squash that are *almost* ready to pick.
The rest of my garden looks kind of pathetic. Too many plants are still in the early stages, when they need to be ripe already. My fault for planting late, but still. There are some vines that look like they did in May when they were still in the starter pots!
I need to deal with last year’s squash so I can make some room. The “Bigger Better Butternut” and the “Great Lakes Shark Fin” both lived up to their hype. They’ve been sitting in the basement for almost a year now, and are still solid.
