A walk through the vegetable garden tells me I am going be busy harvesting this weekend.

The tops of the onions and the tops of the potatoes have died back, so that means it is time to bring them in. The longer you wait, the better the chance of the produce rotting in the ground.

The onions are easy, you just walk along and pick them up. And they are pretty big this year, so it won't be hard to find them.

Harvesting potatoes, however, requires a lot of digging. I try to do it while either the Red Sox or Sea Dogs are playing, so I can listen to the radio while in the garden.

The tomatoes are doing well and we are getting a few cucumbers. The sweet potatoes look healthy, but I have never grown those before, so I don't know if they are being successful or not. But I will leave them alone until the first frost.
