Fall Garden

In some ways, I think I prefer a fall garden over the spring and summer one–less heat, I like the things grown in fall a little more, and did I mention the heat factor?

Currently, we have a mess of sweet potatoes and their vines growing in the garden. I had no idea they would take up so much space and I have had to cut them back to keep them from choking out any more of our tomato plants. They are spilling out into the yard and would probably be clear across the garden if we let them.

We also have some tomatoes, which are looking nice and big thanks to all this rain, swiss chard still hanging on from the spring and summer, and green beans, broccoli, beets, and sugar snap peas. I hope to plant lettuce, spinach and carrots today or tomorrow and remove the remainder of our pepper plants that are still in the ground.
