3. So, who is caring for the garden?

Or is the season over?

My one monster plant is still getting bigger and bigger, with probably 60-100 greens on it, I shit you not.

4. tomatoes were done Julyl 25! Deer working the remaining peppers. All done!

It's OK...need fall and winter to recharge!

We always vanish to the outer banks for the first two weeks of October. Nourishes the soul!

5. Awesome!

I love that whole intercoastal waterway thing you all have out there.

The Pacific Coast is beautiful, sure, but the Atlantic Coast has much more variety.

Lovely, and just in time before the days get short and colder, right?
