It is so difficult to say goodbye. After lovingly giving rise to life, from conception to full adult, there comes a time to let go. I am sorry to say, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, you must move on. I thank you for the abundance of sustenance we shared this spring and summer. I enjoyed your bushy and overwhelming greenery and beauty you brought to my garden. But, the time has come. Gone are all the tomato plants and squash.
Now the seeds of fall lettuce and snap peas have been planted and I must start the care cycle again. Soon I will plant additional winter vegetables and hope that I have some success with the new crops. I will soon plant potatoes, peas, onions, perhaps some beets. It is good for the soil to rotate the crops and since the weather is fairly mild here, I should be able to grow all season.
Since my pumpkins did not survive, I will use my overgrown zucchinis for jack-o-lanterns this year. I hope they carve well and bring some creativity to the front porch.
