I meant to ask, what are you using to cover your plants in the last picture? Here are my winter squash from this year. I still have a few potatoes to dig up, but everything else is in. Hubbard, Sweet Meat, Spaghetti, Butternut and Buttercup.

Fennel and broccoli. Fennel bulbs are huge this year. Spoon in picture for reference.

Tomatoes off the chart this year in volume but a little behind ripening. Green beans (the 2nd replant*) are forming with stalks to 10' Cukes (1st replant*) are gangbusting. Romain lettuce keeps putting out nice heads. Cabbage recovered after attack of imported cabbage worm. Should be ready for...
