Our 3 day weekend hasn’t, and doesn’t have much hope today, of reaching 70 degrees. We still have lots of plants with green fruits that really could use more heat before fall sets in.

Here is a watermelon (one of two that have gotten to any size) in front of a butternut squash (we have two or three fairly small ones).

Our pepper plants all at once stopped dropping their flowers and now has plenty of green peppers maybe 3 to 4 inches long, in addition to the original one that is just now starting to turn color.

The first pumpkin, out on the rocks below the garden area, was turning soft. Mike threw it across the street into the blackberry bushes. The bushes rejected the poor pumpkin and tossed it down the hill. We have one more decent sized pumpkin that is better sheltered in the mass of foliage in the main garden area that we hope won’t rot before we get to eat it.

And of course we have lots of green tomatoes still.  At this rate, I am hoping that we manage one more batch of roasted tomatoes.
