“We’re still getting very sweet sun-gold tomatoes and a few others in November. These were picked yesterday. We’re right off H street NE.”

Awesome. Thanks to a reader for sending:
“We had some giant pumpkins in upper Petworth. Just harvested a couple weeks ago and took some glamour shots before taking down the flag.”

“After the tomatoes stopped producing I sort of forgot about my squash plants. Some of these are the size of baseball bats. I am open to suggestions about what to do with them.”
And it’s a good one – “hops from my garden in Petworth.”
Now this is really the last one (unless of course a few more entries come in tomorrow…)
