This was today's harvest at the community garden. The watermelon vines have died, so we took home some small watermelons. They should be much bigger than this but the kids are just as happy with individually sized melons. Also, some corn, peppers, asparagus beans and cherry tomatoes. We'll watch the weather for predictions of a killing frost and will pick the rest of the tomatoes and peppers before then. I want to let the rest of the tomatoes and peppers turn red on the vine if possible.
