Summer's winding down, at least the intense harvesting part (other than allll the apples). Think I'm done with cherry tomatoes in general, need to find a nice medium sized red next year. Nice first year harvest of skullcap and hops and just enough green beans left for my lunch. In the garden for fall: Italian dandelion greens, bok choi, arugula, purslane, mizuna, miner's, carrots, collards, beets, snow peas....
