We planted some cruciferous veggies, but something is already munching on them.

We've chopped and dropped most things or added it to the compost.

Tomatoes, beans, eggplants, and peppers that have already set are still maturing, but the plants are nolonger putting out anything new. The raspberry weed grew like crazy, so we should get a decent yield next spring. We pulled our carrots last weekend. I'm going to have to dig the artichokes out and put them who-knows-where for the winter soon, that's going to be fun.

All our gourds are either not producing anymore or fell victim to powder mildew.

One of our potted strawberries looks pretty pissed off because I was neglectful with water during a dry spell. It will likely be fine. If not, we have two more pots of them.

I think I missed planting fall snap peas, but am tempted to do it anyway incase I get lucky. I will plant our cover crop soon and leave the dead/dying foliage that's already there for the spring.

Autumn in the UK means everything has gone to sleep now! Sunflowers finished nearly a month ago and the leaves have started falling from the trees. We've just had our first frost too.
