Your garden is awesome! I love raspberries, maybe when we get some of our major projects done, I'll make a bed for them. Isn't it nice to have all that good food put up for winter?

With such a "Bumper Crop" y'all seem to be producing there, ya might can sell some, or find a few places to handle them on consignment.
When Ringo is following ya around is he humming "Centerfield"?....

We plan to try to sell some next season but this season was more or less a practice one. We have all we need for winter and the neighbors get whatever they want.
Ringo is so big that I don't take it for granted what he is humming.

Squash is slowing down a little since it got hot but they still have a lot of blooms coming on. The spaghetti squash and butternut are getting huge and starting to turn color as it ripens. Melons are looking good but I may have to trim them some since I planted them around the okra which is just now starting to produce. We have processed almost 50 pounds of onions but the timing is good since we just recently used the last out of the freezer from last year.
The weather has been relatively dry so we have been letting them cure outside and then bringing them in to the porch rack to finish before either chopping for the freezer are keeping for later use.
The last people is cantaloupe growing around concord grapes that were just planted this year.

Looks really good, Joyce dug up a bunch of garlic yesterday. Cantaloupe are a favorite here, too. The jubilee watermelons can't be contained in the garden....they are taking over the lower end. We grew one a couple of yrs ago that was 58lbs.

Um, I planted my onions and Red Kuri squash a few days ago and my broccoli and cabbage yesterday. No flowers on the Winter Nut squash, crooked neck yellow squash, zucchini, beans, tomato or cantaloupe plants (of course they are really small still). Have some peas ready though now that DD1 has returned from her trip and told me THOSE peas are snap peas, not shell peas as my wife thought.

Bruce, I think if I was in that zone I would have to have a hoop house of some kind but even those things don't deal with real cold weather.
We have 3 different types of watermelon and they are coming along good. We are making use of the hill that we left mostly barren last year. I just moved a lot of dirt to it to make it a bit leveler. That makes our small garden almost 1/4 acre.

Those are some nice onions! Your garden is producing well.

You know, there's just a very fine line between gardening and row crop farming..........you're getting close to stepping over it.
