Cool nights, warm afternoons and lots of rain makes the fall a great time for gardens. Turnip greens were on Sunday night’s supper table. The mesclun that was planted Sunday was out of the ground yesterday (Tuesday). The mustard and kale are almost ready to pick. The missing link is the onion sets. Renfrow’s hardware didn’t have the sets in last week. Hopefully they have them now.
The late cucumbers have not produced yet and they are already looking ratty. The late squash have squash on them already. The patty pan is still coming in. The spaghetti squash is a total failure this year, and the butternut produced only little squash.
Fortunately the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and patty pan squash are still producing. The okra has not yielded a pod for two days, but they are covered with blossoms. The last ones picked were too big and tough even though they were only one day old.
