end of beans

Pulled the vines of purple pole beans. There are still beans growing but most damaged by cold or starting to go to seed. The pods that were dried out enough, I harvested to keep for next years' seed. A few (on the right) looked more plump and smooth than the rest, were just not dry all the way yet.

Took out the tomato vines also, and have a row of green tomatoes on the windowsill. A few are ripening.

There's a few beets left, the chard, turnips and collard greens still going. And some of the herbs: green onions, sculpit, rosemary, thyme, parsley, sorrel, chives, tarragon. And of course the lovage.

Asparagus is lovely thick and ferny- I have weeded and mluched but not yet cut back because it's still green.

Not too bad for November, my first year actually back into gardening!
