Wow Tom...
I remember you said at the beginning of the season you had your tomatoes in planters... You win :) only 3 tiny yellow pear tomatoes for me this year so far...
I will be building greenhouse this fall for sure to speed up my start of the season

never heard of purple wax beans before?

I used green beans, purple beans, and wax (yellow) beans, all bush varieties. Snap bean harvest has ended here, miss them already but have a full supply frozen and canned.

I have been hearing rumors about the development of green wax varieties. Sounds silly and pointless to me, just another color fad like white or purple carrots, white or green-when-ripe tomatoes, etc.

We have been feasting on veggies here, grilled eggplant, peppers, zucchini, toms, and still getting green beans. The onions and garlic were fantastic this year. Kale is going great guns, hope to try some kale chips yet, just have to find enough time to do that. Applesauce and dried apples to do yet. Drying some of my seedless grapes for raisins. Drinking fresh grape juice, jelly in the root cellar. Can barely keep up with all the goodies. We need another day or two for the garden to dry off and then will get the potatoes dug.

Excellent! Sounds like you have had a successful gardening season. I wish our gardening season was not so short, but it sure makes a person appreciate all the wonderful harvests!

Thanks for posting...
