Autumn Garden Haul

The beans are coming in bowls at a time.  Luckily I have a little green bean monster to keep up with the crop this autumn. 

Remember that front bed that I ripped all of the flowers out of in July?  This front bed is part of my bean crop source now. 

Holy acorn squash!  Where did you come from?

I have no idea, actually.  We came home from our Western vacation and there it was, a large squash plant growing in one of the front beds.  We eat a lot of acorn squash, so my best guess is that it came in with some soil from the compost pile.  I love volunteer plants.  

Here are two more volunteer plants – I had five tomato plants this year that came from compost dirt.  I cannot wait to taste these tomatoes.  The variety is a mystery, though if I had to guess, I’d say grape tomatoes.
