I'm still moderately busy harvesting, preserving, and cooking a couple of times per day. But then the food tastes really good, so it's worth the effort. (and in January and February, I'll be thrilled at eating what I preserved). Yesterday while watching a video, I husked ground cherries, and this morning made some ground cherry muffins.
Day later: home-grown herbs whirred in sour cream on top of eggs, plus cherry tomatoes:
As of tomorrow, I'm running to get free mulch every morning, coming home, spreading it where I've torn out plants, and piling it up to cover the beds in winter after I tear out other plants. I have a load of wood chips on order at several places, but so far, no chips have appeared in my driveway. That'll be a big autumn project. After I've retrieved mulch, I need to do about 90 minutes of weeding every day for a week to catch up on that.
Other tasks: saved some strawberry runners that I rooted in potting mix, and need to get those in the "forever homes," as well as some perennial flowers I started (possibly too late, but that depends on when the first frost comes.) One more batch of tomatoes is in the freezer and I need to can those, but that can wait until a hot or cold or rainy day.
