Hi Bronx, missed this thread. Sorry to hear about your SIL's passing. Please pass on my condolences to Mrs B too.

We have done a little planting in the past month. We are not wanting to put too much into a Fall garden until we know that the peripheral fences will hold the deer at bay. Nothing was touched this summer. Shrubs and perennials that were planted and forgotten years ago are suddenly emerging as surprises! We have planted rutabagas, red Russian kale, collards, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and several types of lettuces. Arugula and Thai basil self sow as has some India mustard. DH just came in with around four gallons of McCasalan and Kentucky Wonder beans. We are picking and drying several other bean varieties. Spring greens are taking off again. Planted twice as many tomatoes and had half the usual crop. The second planting peaked about a week ago. We should have a steady supply until freeze. Okra is pouring in as are my 'Amazing' peppers, tobascos, jalapenos, cayennes, pepperoncini and eggplants (especially Ichiban). The herbs have outdone themselves.

Been busy squeezing and fermenting tomato seed and putting on the hazmat suit to deal with the pepper seed. LOL There have been a few interesting surprises such as several hot cherry and tobasco peppers that were planted over a winter compost spot. They are over six feet tall and loaded! Here's a pic.
