Yes I'm seeing it too. I had zuccinni in the ground ealier and I'm having a nice crop though it is slowing now. I notice that stuff I planted earlier in the summer is coming back now but the stuff I planted in Late July or early August is really taking a long time to fruit.

At least we can look forward to stuff coming along later in the year. Happy gardening!

Thanks Dana! You know what though the past week it has all started! I am getting loads of zucchinis, tomatillo's peppers, chili peppers, and cucumbers now. I guess everything comes to he who waits right?

YEAH! We had lots ov zuccs until husband was amending soil and accidentally pulled it out of the ground. I've tried several times to grow tomatillo and can't get it going. Sounds like you have a great garden growing. Cheers.

I planted kind of late but we are getting good amounts of Zuchinnis, tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes. Wonderful to eat these fresh off the plant.

Good to hear that Chris! I am still getting plenty as well, and am about to post a picture of one of my latest harvests. Nice to have produce so fresh this time of year.

Oops, sorry about your zukes Dana. I am getting many tomatillo's now, they seem to like it cooler because in the summer they grew big, had lots of flowers, but produced no fruit. Feast or famine right? :)

We may need to think about putting some kind of frost protection on the week, the forecast is showing mid 30's later this week, Thursday, Friday.

I just went out and bought more frost cloth today as it is usually December we get our first frosts. Last year was so mild though I have been wondering how this year will be!

My swiss chard is amazing, it was good during the summer, but it has gone crazy since its cooled off. I jumped the gun and pulled out my zucchini plants, sorry I did that now, reading what others are experiencing.

Sue, great! My swiss chard is just starting out and I can't wait for it as it is one of my favorite veggies! I often wonder whether to leave things longer to see what they will do, your swiss chard being a great example of that!
