Are you still harvesting anything from your garden?

Picked about three gallons of green beans yesterday. Still have carrots in the ground. Plan on picking the remainder of the grapes this weekend. Looks like frost next week, so that will slow things down to a crawl.

The plants look terrible but most still have green tops so I am still able to pick enough tomatoes for fresh eating.
I also have beautiful bell peppers and am picking the last of my dry beans, just waiting for them to finish drying.

Only thing left are tomatoes and peppers. A few tomatoes still are ripening and the peppers are just getting into their prime. Time to begin garden clean-up.

I've still got a bunch of peppers out there, but I have more than even I can use, so only a couple of types I am still harvesting. Still a few butternuts ripening out there, and I've always got some herbs that I'm harvesting.

It's funny - the hail on August 14 just about wiped out everything in the garden. Slowly it started bouncing back and even though most of the tomatoes are toast, the beans exploded into production. Including friends from our gardening swap, I think we have made over 60 pints of Dilly Beans plus another 20+ quart bags went into their freezer. No complaints, though I did miss some peppers and tomatoes.
We still have root veggies to finish. I'll wait until next week for those. Gotta clean up and till an area for garlic soon.

Tomatoes that I have left, both cherry and regular, are still doing great. Bell peppers and the long sweet red peppers are still producing. Okra is producing well.Chocolate scotch bonnets are still ripening, along with one red one that I didn't know I had planted...maybe a cross? Just finished picking the rest of the beans and a late planting of summer squash is starting to produce. First frost is still about two weeks away and with todays forecast of record tying temp of 90 degrees, maybe I will get a few more yet.

The lettuce, swiss chard and kale were not damaged by the light freeze, I still have carrots in the ground, though they are poor this year because I was lazy and didn't thin enough. Tomatoes and peppers all got picked before the freeze and are either in the garage or house waiting to be tended to. Spaghetti and Delicata squash are in the garage as well, hoping to give away some.
