In the past few weeks the garden has given up an abundance of produce. Eggplants, peppers, corn, squash, tomatoes, herbs, beans.

Bagged and ready to go to the food bank.

Quite a few different varieties of tomatoes.

Perhaps next year we will plant a few less beans, or add more stakes. These three slender bamboo stakes held out valiantly for quite some time, but they finally succumbed to the weight. Several boxes of beans have been picked so far, and the plants are still producing although we had to shorten them!

Our beans before the stakes finally gave out.

Our picnic table, bought through the generous grant we received from Tektronix, is stained and assembled and being put to good use.
