already planted the garlic here. some of
it is up and growing.

today was beautiful weather and i took
advantage of that and started working on
reshaping one of the bean patches. looks
like the next week is about the same type
of weather. i expect to be happily sore
for the next few weeks if i can get all
the digging finished.

I've been waiting for some rain. It continues to miss us. North,
south, east and west of us has had some rain. No frost yet, though.

This is the first year I've ever had fall lettuce and bok choi bolt.
The weather has stressed them a lot.

Was able to pick some greens to add to wonton soup for dinner
yesterday, and pick a few more ripe tomatoes.

Some of the squash look to need another week or so without frost
to finish ripening.
