My wife has started harvesting and processing tomatoes this week; we'll have enough spaghetti sauce for the next year. Too many cucumbers; fortunately, the sheep haven't tired of them yet. This morning, we picked the first white cucumber. More onions and garlic than one knows what to do with. And the cantaloupes are really huge but not quite ripe yet. The pumpkins are putting forth fruit, but won't be ripe for several months. We've been eating beets, lettuce, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts for some time now. Strawberry season is over; I have a batch of strawberry wine fermenting down in the cellar.

I got a late start this year , but fortunately the growing season
here (N. central Arkansas) is pretty long . I usually have til late
September to harvest stuff unless we get an early freeze .
