Last of the garden

Jacob and Becca helped me harvest the rest of the potatoes and onions last week.

Then, the forecast said it was going to frost!

Unfortunately, time got away from me all day to go out and harvest the all the other vegetables.

It was a dark and stormy night. (I should have started with that, right?)

I grabbed a flashlight, a jacket, and my trusty basket and went out to harvest whatever I could.

A few more tomatoes.

There were a bunch of green cherry tomatoes, which I left on the vine.

I could have been out there all night picking those off, and it was cold!

Those 3 great big ones were about all I got from the Early Girl variety.

Potatoes--of several varieties.

 Chock full of potatoes and onions.

I plan to peel, chop, and freeze all the onions.

Also, I'm going to peel, dice, cook, then freeze the potatoes.

Otherwise I'm sure they would go bad before we got to them.

We don't have the cold storage to really keep them a long time.

I didn't get a picture of the sunflowers peeking out from behind the corn, but they did finally do it.

Picked these tiny corn cobs.

I actually haven't even husked them yet, since I'm pretty sure they will be worthless.

I may use them for an art project with the kiddos tomorrow.

I was glad I had picked everything. I think it has frosted every night since then, with the possible exception of last night.

If I'm going to get another shrub put in the back flowerbed, I had better hurry!
