Garden Update

Ugh.  What an ugly garden.  We're winding down here in this zone and mentally getting ready for the next seasons spring crops.  When a garden is at the end of it's cycle it's not a pretty sight.  All the way to the left are the 2 cherry tomato plants that have merged into one hot mess.  Delicious though and that's what ultimately counts, right?  The broccoli are the low dark green plants below the tomatoes then the scallion/onion and garlic section.  The spiky plant up front is one of my pineapple plants.  As I take out an expired plant, I'm filling in the blank space with the spiky plant to deter the cats from coming to poop play.

Here's the second bed.  All that light green equals 3 brussels sprouts plants, only 3.  Still going strong but producing near nothing of any quantity.  All the way to the left is a large variety of tomato that has performed really well for us.  Just one plant has produced enough to make a huge pot of tomato soup and another huge pot of spicy spaghetti sauce.  Which reminds me, if you haven't tried shakshuka, you really must. Really.
