Harvest Time

South Bend is under a freeze warning tonight so it was time to harvest as much as possible out of the garden beds this afternoon.  We dug potatoes and picked tomatoes, butternut squash, carrots, onions, kale, and green beans.  We picked all the green tomatoes and will have to ripen them in the house.  I will be covering the peas, kale, and lettuce and praying they stay warm enough.  Here are some photos of the garden.  The first photo is the harvest for today.  The green tomatoes are in a bushel basket and the squash and potatoes are in a half-bushel.  

 These photos are from earlier this summer.  The tomatoes and the volunteer butternut squash plant apparently missed the memo about staying in the raised beds.

 These tomatoes are yellow cherry tomatoes.  They really went nuts and we just kept on picking! The volunteer squash took over the right side of the bed.  There were supposed to be peppers growing there but that just didn't work out.
