The weather has been getting a bit cooler lately. We are usually in the low 50's early in the morning now. I had planned on pulling out the annuals this week but they are looking so healthy and blooming still. I think it is because we had a mild summer. We had no heat waves nor did we have rainstorms every weekend throughout the summer. I may just wait until the first week of November before pulling them out of the garden.
I cut back a lot of the herbs that I grew this summer and hung them up to dry. I have one more batch that is still hanging and ready to be put into a jar. However, I may end up cutting just a few more this week herbs this week or next week. The grape tomatoes are still producing. I probably have another week or two before they are ready to be picked.
The pumpkins that we planted didn't fair so well. Some animal kept eating the flowers. I don't know if it was the rabbits or deer or other lovely creature. We got 3 white mini pumpkins and two small green pumpkins that I hope turn orange before Halloween.
