You have not had a good garden year. They are rough to endure. So much
effort for little benefit.
My cukes have died back early, but the tomatoes still think it is
June, at least insofar as flowering. Their leaves are not so sure.
I am still picking about a pound or two of cherry types every day.
Lots of larger tomatoes, too, but the deer or some other critters have
discovered them, too.
