Another beautiful day was spent outdoors working on various projects around the property, and a quick scan of the garden revealed that quite a few things needed to be picked. In the picture above are zucchini, several varieties of beans, peppers, and a few grapes.
In other news, the planter being constructed is turning out to be quite a challenge since I don't have any woodworking tools (you know, all of those fancy gadgets). However, you'll be surprised at what's possible with standard tools in the backyard of "the mad scientist gardener". You're gonna like this little planter, I bet. :)

Kelly - I figure it'll be finished in about 3-4 weeks, especially since the days are getting shorter.

Nice fall harvest. Sadly, we consumed our last zucchini tonight. I am looking forward to seeing the planter you are working on.

Megan - thanks, powdery mildew is all over the squash plants, so they'll be done soon...
Awww, EG . . . here you go being a tease! We'll be anxious to see what you got up your sleeve! Judging from your previous projects, I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
Beautiful fall harvest! I will be harvesting my first ever Moon and Stars watermelon and Charentais melons soon. I'm still getting a few Patty Pans and Cocozelle Zucchini, but am getting a bit "squashed out", so they may be going bye-bye soon! I have been battling powdery mildew for a while now also!
