Now working on getting the potatoes dug.-- green beans are about done, last of the peas are done, 2 rows of long season onions not quite ready yet but close.--- Sweet corn is just starting to go and it looks like TONS of it out there. Tomatoes are getting hit by the potato bugs so not sure if we will have tomatoes this year. thanks; sonny580

Oh man those look good. What variety?

We have four varieties, this pie was made with three.
One tart, one sweet,, and one in the middle.

I can never remember the names, except for the one I did not use,,,
that one is a yellow transparent.

Sweet potatoes bout ready to dig.--melons and squash are either ready now ---OR gone! beets and carrots are being harvested.---The last of the grapes were just juiced and put in quart jars. thanks; sonny580

Sweet potatoes and peanuts have been harvested and cured. The last of the cured onions have been given away.
the biggest one was 6.5 pounds with LOT'S of 3 to 5 pounders.

1 of the harvest wagons full

trailer full,--this was about 1/3 of the total crop

the chesnut tree. this year it made about a gallon of nuts.

the peanut crop, 150 pounds of them

a half sack of peanuts

In all the garden was a good producer again this year despite the long dry growing season.--My water hauling paid off with some good quality crops.
Now trying to get as much subsoiled and plowed as possible before ground freezes up! thanks; sonny580

After several weeks of freezing in the ground, I dug the parsnips and had some for dinner!





Only had these, but that gave me a good taste ! Love them fried! thanks; sonny580
