Last of Summer’s Bounty

September 17, 2010 by Blake

Yesterday I picked the last of our “summer crops.” A bit earlier than I would have liked but the 0.5″ of rain we received about 10 days ago caused a severe mildew to take place and so, it is time to say goodbye to summer’s bounty and prepare the garden for a winter crop. As you can see from the photo there were still plenty of tomatoes, a few zucchini, a couple cucumbers, the last of the figs and the Italian plums. It is hard to say goodbye to the summer garden as I have a serious addiction to cucumber-tomato salad as well as sauteed zucchini.
