Winter is coming. Ed's fall garden roundup with a surprise.

in #gardening7 years ago

There's been some very cool night's lately with frost warnings. So far in the city we've evaded the frost, but my brother on the farm had some almost 2 weeks ago.

Well back to work I guess for this lazy gardener. I've picked all of the tomatoes and pulled the plants out already.

I can't remember the variety of this spinach, but it's been producing very well and hasn't gone to seed in the summer heat. Here I've thinned it out a bit and pulled out some of the leaves that my wife won't go near because of bug bites or discoloring.

Here is some spinach I planted about 2 weeks ago. Its just an experiment to see what I can grow in September.

One little zucchini still growing slowly, I'll leave it as long as I can chance the frost.

One little yellow zucchini is still holding on as well.

Now onto cleaning up the raspberry patch. Basically all I've done here is cut out the old woody stalks.

They're still producing berries into September!

Now heres the surprise, my spaghetti squash plant that I thought was not making any fruit was hiding it all in the raspberries.

There's three of them hiding in here.

These were planted from seeds that I kept out of one of last years sauashes(I found it in the back of the pantry this spring and some of the seeds were already germinated inside).

Is this one turning orange!? What kind of mutant spaghetti pumpkin sauash have I grown?
I'm kind of excited to see what these turn into now.
Maybe I can make a pumpkin spaghetti pie?

How are your winter preparations going? Did your garden perform well this year? Any surprises?

berries look great, I was wondering what the zucchini looking thing was...You must be like me plant things and then forget what they are! LOL Great post fellow #thealliance member!
Blessings for a warm winter, at least inside your home!
Melissa from Florida!

Is it the yellow zucchini your looking at?

The big one that you found the seeds in the cabinet for. :)

Thats supposed to be a spaghetti squash. They usually rippen a pale yellow, for some reason it's turning orange!

:) it is special!
