home stretch

i was at the iu northwest community garden this morning and there doesn't seem to be much of anything anomalous there at all...the eggplants are still producing and there are nascent ones as well as some that are well on the road to maturity...the green peppers are no slouches either...there are multiple peppers on a number of plants and one that has produced quadruplets...i didn't include any photos of the tomato bed but that will be churning out fruit well into october if the weather holds ( and, frankly, i think november could still see tomatoes...why not? think back to march )...the potato plants have begun to die back...just within the 90-120 day parameter and can be harvested pretty much any time now ( they'll keep in the ground perfectly well like the tubers jerusalem artichokes produce...no rush )tubers are always a surprise...like growing peanuts...you never know what's going to be turned up...the bottom photo is a wider shot of the community garden around ten this morning...dead on schedule and verdant at the end of august.
