Fall Cleanup Part II

Since we're leaving on our cruise in two days, I decided it's time to do some more cleanup.  I removed all the plants from my nice glazed pots.  Some went in the ground, some into plastic pots for now until I decide what to do with them.

It's also time for the tomatoes to go.  I pulled the last ones and added two big bags of leaves to the bed.  (I've collected eight bags in the neighborhood, so I still have plenty.)





















I had planned on pulling out the squash plants, too, but they are still looking good and there are lots of squash coming.  So I left them for now.

The weather continues to be beautiful, except for fog on some mornings.  The cosmos that reseeded have started to form flower buds.  I decided not to tell them that winter is coming.  I'll let them enjoy life a little longer.





















I found two more nice heads of cauliflower, so I picked them and will freeze them.  There are still several very small heads, which I'll leave and hope they'll be okay when we return.   We're about to O.D. on squash.  Waste not, want not.
