The frost is on the pumpkin

We don't actually have any pumpkins, and fortunately it hasn't yet been a "killer frost" (however that is defined), but to me it meant it was time to do some serious harvesting. I know frost probably won't do much damage to the root vegetables, but we'll be leaving soon for Arizona, so better to take some extra for the road. I'm leaving some in the ground, in hopes they'll be good when we return.

The beans, well, there are still oodles of the yellow variety on the vines, but I'm pretty sure they're not going to get much bigger despite the phenomenal October sunshine we are seeing each and every day.

The oblong knobby potatoes are Ozettes, a tasty local variety I planted from a grocery store potato.
