Finally finished putting in a fall crop of potatoes in most of my outdoor containers. Have prepared remaining containers and will plant winter wheat in them next week, so I can clip handfuls of good greens for the chickens and rabbits throughout the coming winter.

Something stole the squash off of my vines. There's nothing on the ground, no evidence of it having been eaten, etc., they had several more weeks to go before they were ready.

Good thread, thank you. The past few years I had to fly south and missed most of my harvest, so this is a really good ending to summer for me. The only thing I can get in the ground this month, due to my 63 degree latitude, is garlic. My Music and Siberian will go in the ground in a couple of more weeks for next year. I love what garlic I got this year, but was the sad victim of garlic-rustling, of all things!

Meanwhile, it’s all harvesting, composting and cleanup from here till frost...which is mere days away. We HAVE had Termination Dust already, and yes all the fireweed fluff is gone too.

This has been one of my best garden summers ever…so good in so many things, esp since I grew most from seed and much from seed saved from last year’s collection. Still longing for a greenhouse!

I appreciate these month to month “moon” adviseries. I will be planting my lettuce, cabbage and broccoli seedlings on Thursday.

We have had groundhogs do this in the past. The fruit simply disappears off the vine.
