Photos of my fall garden harvest

I tried growing those big red thingamabobs, but they were miserable this year.

My thingamabobs got cracks around the tops because of the heat, I think.
They look like they'd be great in BLTs (bacon, lettuce & thingamabob sandwiches).
Just posted photos from the garden and thought I'd share them. Not great art photos but the veggies look pretty good. Feel free to "like" the page.
Nice, good eating.

I always wondered what they were. They're not thingamabobs?I think they're technically known as "love apples."

The heat up here was good for the garden but we probably had less of it than you down there. The garden was slow to come, though, because we had a cold spring.
Happy gardening!

Needs more puppies.
I tried growing puppies once. I planted them feet first in the ground cuz that's where it looked like the rhizomes were poking out.
But alas, they didn't grow. So I called the state agricultural office & told them my plight, asking for advice. The guy there was
dismissive & rude. He said, "You dumb loper...I can't tell you nuthin without a soil test!".

I sympathize. My squash plants produced dozens of bulbs, but only one bulb matured and it might not make it.

The puppies ran off with the pumpkins.

Thanks! Climate-wise you'll be getting even with me in January.

We got the cracks in some tomatoes too. I cut those ones out and the new ones seem fine. I also pulled out one plant (Stupice) that was not thriving and left the other (Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter), which is now doing great. I don't know what's going on there.
My spaghetti squash worked out beautifully but the butter nuts seem to have stopped growing any bigger. Any advice? Yours looks great. Maybe I should try to just eat them, since it's starting to get quite cold, but they're only about 8 inches long. lol.

Stupice and Radiator Charlie are tomatoes, I take it. Cool names.
Haven't seen a spaghetti squash since I was a kid. As to the butternuts, some of mine aren't much bigger than 8 inches either. This was the first year I planted all heirlooms and the seeds (from Seed Savers Exchange) seem to be more robust than others. The butternuts did really well, the hubbards not so hot.
I'll look for black cherry tomatoes all right! I had a volunteer, heirloom red cherry plant and had some of them on my lunch salad today (brune d'hiver lettuce, I think it was). Coincidentally, had some butternut frozen leftover squash from last year for lunch, too!
