Fall Begins

Yesterday my helper bee (my boyfriend) noticed one of the morning glory plants had a flower!  It is a huge blue one! I couldn't find my camera though (hopefully just buried in my room), so I didn't get a picture, but it was exciting!  After months of growing, FINALLY have a flower. 
I picked 6 more cucumbers, a few leaves of lettuce & another 1/2 lbs of beans.
I picked most of my tomatoes (all the big ones) off their vines and put them in paper bags to ripen.  I'm afraid frost will get them; but I did leave a bunch of the smaller ones on the vine in hopes that they will turn red if I give them another week. 
I have a few more jalapenos left and some bell peppers are growing!   I think it may frost before they are full grown though; but at least I know for next year that they will do well when planted at the proper time.
I also rotated my pumpkins so they won't rot on the bottoms.
And I have to get out our old sheets from the basement to cover the plants at night, just in case it does frost.  This way I can get a few more weeks out of them. 

Cheers!
