2 days ago- most cukes going to the birds.
Yesterday I pulled Yukon Gold potatoes! Now I can make rabbit stew!
Bit of a learning curve, gardening with rabbit manure. It holds water. So, cucumbers, peppers and heavy feeders love it. But potatoes, bulbs and such rot.
Will mix next year with the garden soil to prevent loss.
Hosed and in the crawl space. Much colder in there.
Today, pears. I need to figure out how to can them do they last!
3+ times as many are still on the tree!

Most of the garden has been cleaned up.
Cukes are gone.
Most of potatoes are gone, but put stems back to grow more if possible.
Peppers aren't slowing down yet. Keep getting taller.
The strawberries got moved to the biggest grow bag. Seems they grow very shallow roots.
Bottom right, new carrot seeds were sowed. Started to sprout. Hope there's enough time for them. They have the carrot soil mix.

Bitty taters, second harvest.
hot ones. Peppers aren't slowing down much
For the chickens
Got far too much in the freezer and husband isn't eating them like he claimed.
Most of what I'll plant next year will be for the chickens. Way too much in the freezer or pickled that'll last through next year.

strawberries are woodland clearing type of plants so they do best with plenty of mulch which helps retain moisture for their more shallow roots. they grow as fast as many bushes or trees would spread out from a disturbance and the birds move the seeds around and drop them where they may continue their life cycle.
grow bags might work if they are big enough and don't get too hot or too dried out.
