BeetBear and I took advantage of the cool, dry weather again this morning to finish the butternut squash harvest. He will now go through what we have piled up in the garage and select the "keepers" for storage and the rest will be shared out. He'll give us an update when he's done. 😀 #BeetBear #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b @npub1v5ap...ny6w

The sweetcorn may be done for the year, but the rest of the garden is still producing enough for me to set out some more surplus for the neighbors. Starting to harvest butternut squash now, so I have to figure out where to store it all. 😀 #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b @npub1v5ap...ny6w

Well, it started on July 26th with our first picking, and ended today, one month later, with our last picking for the year. Lots of good eats along the way. BeetBear has declared the harvest over and it was a great year, but lots of work. It's going to be a long wait for our next corn crop to start!😀 🌽 #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #BeetBear #SweetCorn @npub1v5ap...ny6w

A beautiful day here today, cool, sunny and dry. A perfect time to start the butternut squash harvest. Haven't counted anything yet but there's about 75 pounds (34 kilos) sitting there waiting to get picked up. Still over half of the area yet to clear. Chopping up vines and weeds is filling up compost bin nicely. 😀 #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #compost #Cucumbers @npub1v5ap...ny6w

Got some stuff set out for the neighbors this afternoon. The last 3 cukes, what is probably the last okra, some jalapeños, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash. More corn tonight but we're getting to the end now. Maybe one more picking, two if I'm lucky. Only counting these as 8 ears tonight. Will post pix of the rejects later. #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #BeetBear #SweetCorn @npub1v5ap...ny6w

Did we have more corn tonight? Yes, indeed! We're getting near the end now and some of these are like half sized (and counted as such) but still mighty tasty. 😀 🌽 #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #BeetBear #SweetCorn @npub1v5ap...ny6w
