    Have you tried just getting the root to sprout in some water? (like germinating a seed)

    I only water a couple times a week, if no rain. If it rains then I don't water at all.

    and that is that!

    first frost a couple days ago.

    what is left of my cukes and zukes:



    My black beans:



    I picked about a hundred off and have drying in the house, I am leaving the rest hanging for as long as I can to dry out before picking, as the beans themselves look mostly ok:

    I'm hoping for a late first frost this year, my tomatoes are exploding with production.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Dang already. We have lows in the upper 60's and it feels great.

    My tomatoes are sheltered enough that they survived, I'm picking daily and eating them like they are going out of style... which in terms of gardening, I guess they are. I too am hoping for a late frost.

    I love garden season!
    The wife and I went for a walk down the trail to check on the gardens and enjoy the sites of Autumn.

    I pick about this much each day, work as much into a meal and put up the rest.



    tomatoes:


    the last of my peppers and onions:


    Lettuce, still going strong:


    More beet leaves:
