Listening to GH show, seems like everyone is having harder time this year getting tomatoes to ripen, maybe its all smoke. We did get more melons, we didn't get any tomatoes caged so that was on us. The plan was to move the potted ones into the garage to extend our late season harvesting so that won't work. Decided the bush beans are nicer since they don't need a trellis. In GH we had both types and trellis ones have always been harder access later in the year. So once the addition is done it will be accessible from both sides which will be nice we have a lot of pole seeds to use up so well keep growing them until we are out of seeds to use. Yesterday, we harvested the last of all beans except for some pole ones we just cannot reach easily. Zukes, and squash which became harder to get to with sprawling toms in the way have all been pulled out, and 2nd crop of pea pods. Tomorrow we will attempt to corral one of potted tomatoes in order to move it into the garage. Any tomatoes that fall off in the process can ripen in the basement area. Sun and Mon nights don't look very good for us, pretty sure we'll frost, so we'll also harvest the bell peppers, rest of the melons, and eggplant, Harvest any tomatoes outside of GH ones and pick the green ones to put into the winter ripening area. All things considered,, we have been pretty happy with our harvests and experiments, even the strawberries.
Your garden looks to have done well. I know its not like like it was. Hey we found few young fish living in that upper pond. They (or at least the eggs) must have gotten sucked through the pump and deposited up there in the spring. They'll get relocated to the big (lower) pond for the winter.
