Nice bunch of tomatoes

Looks like that big bush is ripening nicely

Hopeing maybe this weekend or next to get this out of here to make way for my hops.

We had 30° and a hard frost on Sunday night/ Monday morning.
I pulled most of what was left out yesterday.
The Bok Choi and radishes came up while I was gone so hopefully a late crop from them.
The Kale looks amazing and I'm hoping I can keep the swiss chard going for a little while yet.
I did have an entertaining plant....

@west1m
I have read that if they are first year plantings, they should be left alone so that the plant energy can drain back to the roots. That is why my first year plantings are still hanging.

As for the rest of our garden, I guess I am being overly optimistic and thinking of last Autumn, when I was still wearing shorts and t-shirts in mid-October. We have our tomato vines still hanging fruit and new flowers. Our poblano pepper is hanging fruits and is still flowering. Arugula, carrots and spinach seeds planted recently are all sprouting. A potato plant looks like it is happy, and our butternut squash are ripening. Garlic has been planted, and cover crop (crimson clover) has sprouted in the raised bed that didn’t get that treatment last year.In the next several days, we expect morning temps to be at or below freezing. In any case, today I turned off the irrigation supply and drained all the lines. Winter is coming.

Picked the rest of my tomatoe out the front.

Ah dam it BF didn't like my photo.

Well I got a whole bucket of tomatoes.

First year plant, right Josh? My understanding is that first year hops plants don’t usually produce cones that can be used. My first year Centennial plant produced cones, but those cones had no lupulin. When crushed in the hand, there was very little aroma, and very little of the magic yellow dust that is seen in cones from more mature plants. I have read that these first year plants should be left hanging, as they feed their nutrients back to the rhizome.
