The squash, green beans, beets, collards, onions, garlic and lettuce are out of the ground. Will start this week preparing the ground for our fall garden. Planting fall tomatoes with clippings from our now tomato plants, turnips, curly leaf mustard, winter squash, purple hull peas, collards...

We got our first frost in NW PA this morning. It was beautiful driving to work just after dawn. It wasn't a killing frost, but it made me finally feel like the clock is ticking to get everything put up. I still have a fair number of broccoli and cabbage heads that could use some more growth...

I just tore out my cucumbers. I did 40 quarts of pickles-that's quite enough! The other end still has my green peppers and herbs, but what to do with the empty space? I've never done a fall garden before. What can I plant?
