More on the harvest

The garden is on its last legs. So I'm tallying up what we've got. Lots of tomatoes, lots of beans (some a little tough), a couple butternut squash and three pumpkins:

We also grew some onions, which in the above photo are drying out behind the pumpkins. It rained nearly all last week, so we lost a fourth pumpkin and a couple onions -- they turned to mush before I could pick them. The tomatoes are still delicious but slowing down a little bit.

But we have also planted a few fall crops; a few weeks ago I got a row of beets in and they are now coming up/ visible. This afternoon we planted spinach and broccoli raab. Last fall we had pretty good success with spinach, and today's planting is from the same pack of seeds.

And we were finally able to plant the grasses on the bank next to the patio Evan built in July.

The next project is the kitchen. If I have time, I will be documenting that in detail, as it is going to be the largest renovation that we'll be doing around here for the next few years. We're doing a complete remodeling -- floor to ceiling. This past summer we spent countless weeks working on the remodeling plans; soon we'll start in the actual work.... well, "we" includes the contractor, an electrician, plumber, etc. Maybe it will all be done by Christmas.
