Weekend Garden Report August 29, 2009

The Bachelor Buttons  and Cosmos are thriving.

Dolgo Crabapple is loaded this year.  It won’t be long and they will be ready to pick.

The Pear tree is not loaded but has a nice crop.

The Connecticut pumpkin is looking good.

This French variety of pumpkin, Rouge vif d’Etamps,  has a ways to go, I am doubtful if it ripen before cold weather sets in.

Some of the tobacco crop is starting to mature as indicated by this plant starting to yellow.  This is my first attempt at growing tobacco.  I planted 8 varieties but lost track of which was which when I transplanted them to the garden.  I recently plucked the flowers from them hoping the plants would start to ripen.

The fall crops of lettuce and radishes are looking good.


Today’s harvest, a bowl of green beans, a pepper and a zucchini (not shown).

Living in the North and at 3000’ elevation makes corn an iffy crop for us but it looks like we might pick this before long.
