… than a former city dweller’s excitement about homegrown vegetables? I didn’t think so. But the excitement is genuine. Here are some of this summer and fall’s harvests: spaghetti and delicata squash, cucumber, beefsteak tomato, more tomatoes, a day’s worth of windfall apples, tomatoes and a zucchini, Swiss chard and carrots, more carrots.

Lots to learn from trial and error of 2023 for next year. Our carrots are good but not amazing. The tomatoes and squash and lettuce (unpictured) are worth growing more in the future. We need a better system for catching apples before they fall and get bruised/broken.
