End of season – Comments about the season as a whole and plans for next year.

Started pulling some of the plants that were killed by the second frost this morning. Leeks and parsley remain.

First frost today

An open letter to Wall Street from Josh Brown, an investment adviser in Manhattan.

The 2011 growing season is starting to wind down…mainly peppers and leeks left in the garden, but a couple eggplant and tomatoes still around.

I’ve noticed over the past few weeks, I’ve been somewhat neglecting the garden, for (I think) various reasons.

General notes on how the garden has jumpstarted back into production now that the really hot weather has passed. Still in the 80s, but much cooler than a few weeks ago.

Just an overall update on where everything stands heading into August.

The squash has been hit with powdery mildew. 90% of my squash plant leaves had to be cut away. Cucumbers still look manageable with minor mildew. Also got a case of bacterial wilt on one of the cucumber vines…may still be able to save the vine.

With the heat of the summer upon us, everything is in full-swing. I’m picking vegetables on a daily basis and eating two cucumbers a day (at least).
