Small update. Cold weather has hit. Nights are in the 40F/4C range. Tomatillo and pumpkin are behind schedule. Tomatoes have been doing well. The cherry tomatoe is still going crazy even though I've not been removing the bottom leaves. I've pulled about 100 hornworm caterpillars off them and fed them to my chickens. I leave the ones filled with parasitic wasp cocoons. The poke weed is doing well.
The giant sunflower seeds turned out to be a mixture of sunflower types, not just giant. A second crop of potatoes has popped up. Asparagus seeds have been harvested. Basil is blooming up a storm as is the purslane. That's a single pumpkin plant in the photos (Dickinson; C. moschata) one of the kind Libby's pumpkin puree is made from. Hopefully, the pumpkins have enough time to ripen before the 1st frost.
