I went to the plot last night with the idea of picking some veggies and remove one of the remaining two bean trellises. I ended up chatting with a plot neighbor for a bit so the trellis work didn't happen. I ended up deadheading marigolds, rerouting some of the tomatoes on the watermelon trellis, and doing a little weeding in the boxes. I was particularly impressed with the sunset (definitely getting to be Autumn) and how the moon looked against the tomatoes some of which are every bit of 8' tall.
The harvest was rather small. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was disappointed. I shouldn't be surprised, though, considering how thoroughly we went through everything over the weekend. There are still a number of tomatoes ripening on the vine as well as peppers (cayenne and bell) on the vine. In a few days, they should be ready. I was also surprised to see a number of bean flowers on the trellis I'd planned on removing.
The haul included:
- 8.9 oz tomatoes
- 0.9 oz beans
- 0.3 oz cayenne peppers
- 19 ground cherries
