Fall Cleanup

Today was nice but cool (55) so I decided it was time to start cleaning up the garden.  It's my second favorite thing to do in the garden, after planting.  I love getting everything out and the beds neat and tidy.

I took out all the pepper plants, harvesting the remaining fruit.

I picked a few squash while I was at it.  They're still producing, so they get to stay a little longer.

Next to go was the basil.  It has started dropping leaves, so it's pretty much done.

Then I tackled the tomatoes.  I left the cherry tomato, even though they're pretty tasteless and are cracking with all the rain.  Maybe they'll get better if it dries out.  I also left the Debarao paste tomato.  It still has quite a few green tomatoes and some that are close to ripening.  I really like this tomato.

The winter stuff is really looking good.
