It is October 1st and I just picked a fresh English style cucumber from the garden! This is the latest I can remember having fresh cucumbers from our garden. We still haven't had a killing frost, although sometime in the middle of September we did have a 'ground frost' which was quite beautiful with white crystals on the low grasses, but which didn't seem to affect any of our vegetables. There was a touch of leaf kill on some of the squash leaves, but that was all. The plants continued to produce squash through the rest of September.
So, even though it was a cold and wet summer, we had a long growing season - unusually long for our valley.
