We're fully into harvest mode

Peas still producing (they're Swedish Reds and produce all through the summer heat). Green beans by the bowlful. Zucchini the size of small clubs. Tomatoes finally beginning to come in about seven at a time, big fat things with a rich tang to them. Basil, to be whizzed up with olive oil, salt, and garlic and spread over pasta. The spaghetti squash look more like watermelon. Lettuce gone to seed. Kale crawling upward like something Jurassic. Evenings spent shelling dry beans. And soon it will be time to dig potatoes. I love this time of year!
