Yes, the garden is in... mainly.

I have left a little space, thinking carrots, maybe something overwintering, maybe..... The boys however had definite plans, Tonka trucks. While it was nice of them to only dig in the unplanted bits with trucks and shovels... they weren't paying attention to their feet. There were a couple bean fatalities to the rear.

Two other varieties are out at the farm being delicately dined on by deer. We may not be harvesting anything from them :o)

I am hoping that the tomatoes will manage to put forth fruit before frost even though they got into the ground so late. A couple of the lettuces are already starting to bolt ~ YEAH! On our way to seeds.

What I am quite concerned about are the rare varieties of beans that might not have time to mature, with such a cold set spring I held off planting, maybe too late. Others told me that waiting was good as their own beans rotted so at least these are up and my precious 4-10 seeds each of those varieties have a chance!

Most of the beans look like this:



And this:



Imagine my surprise at this:



And this:



WHAT THE!?!?!?!?

Turns out garbanzo beans and lentils don't put forth the usual 'bean' leaf; who knew?

(Some of the spellings for these varieties might change once I have the energy to look them up properly, also one bean variety will completely change its name now that I have tracked down its proper origin. Hang on. Individual listings coming eventually...)
