Fall harvest

The beans, peas and lettuce are long gone. The remaining cucumbers are too big and lack flavor. The tomatoes are still growing, but slowly, and dozens of green tomatoes probably will succumb to the first frost.
There are still potatoes in the ground, though, and until the other day a few dozen carrots also were still rooted.
Elise has enjoyed the garden this year. She figured out early on that the garden is where you go to eat countless cherry tomatoes. As the summer progressed, she seemed to learn that some things have to be removed with a shovel and now asks for her shovel whenever she heads for the garden. The other day she and Anni, shovels in hand, dug up the rest of the carrots. Then, we think Elise learned the hard way that carrots taste better if you wash off big clumps of dirt before trying to eat them.

 I try to take one black and white photo and this is the look I get.

 

After work, play.
