Today I topped off the remaining tomato plants. They were getting quite overgrown and setting fruit that won't have time to ripen. I just used pruners and cut off anything unruly.
I also pulled the zucchini plants because they were starting to show irregular pollination.
I cut the Dill, deadheaded the Herb bed and I am down to one vine of Cantaloupes.
The other day I pulled a few more of the dwarf tomato plants and the pole beans are beginning to look tired out.
As each bed clears out I am prepping it for next year.
But there is still a lot in there. Besides the Carrots and Sweet Potatoes there are large side heads forming on the Belstar Broccoli. I have four growing on three plants.
The Bell Peppers are ready.

| These are Majestic Red |

| The Dahlia bed is no where near slowing down. |

| The shade containers are gorgeous |

| The Fire Pit Celosia and new grasses are thriving. |
This is the time of year when I just pull out or cut down anything tired and ugly. Soon we will begin the task of clearing out the perennial beds but by the time I get to each one, a lot of the plants will already have been trimmed back. Daylilies go first, and then the Hosta. The grasses will be the last to go. Autumn is coming.
