Good luck with it! I love growing vegetables and have been trying to get a year around solution going myself.

Zucchini fritters are yummy. A coworker also just made baked zucchini chips in oven and she really liked them. I might try that

The weather looks promising for the next couple of weeks to help the remaining tomatoes turn red! I’ve brought some inside to force ripen them, but I have hope for all that’s left outside. There’s always fried green tomatoes, too. That’s all that’s left of my garden this year, except for a few small picked over kale plants, a big thyme plant and a basil bush. Time to dry some herbs.

Ah, I call it “Basil a la First Frost” 
Thankfully, I enjoyed it all summer. Mmmm pesto!
I also brought my tomatoes inside to ripen

This thyme plant has been a workhorse all season in a pot. We shall see if it makes it through the winter now that I’ve planted it in the ground (late)!

Beautiful! My Mama has one that is probably thirty years old. It is always so lovely to see it bloom again.
Definitely a ways off until spring here, but I’m dreaming of some fresh honey crisp on my apple tree!

Does anyone have experience getting rid of Grubs (Japanese Beatles) in garden bed soil? Last year they destroyed my vegetable garden pretty quickly… and then I didn’t realize I needed to treat them in late summer/early fall, so I go to prep my soil last weekend and dig up a bunch of these… quickly remembering “oh yeah these are still here” lol
I read this. Some places said 2 tbsp, some said 4 tbsp. So maybe go 3 tbsp, lol. Apparently causes them to surface and croak. Not sure about preventing them altogether, but it may. Probably check to make sure this concoction won’t harm what you’re trying to grow in the process.
I read about something called “milky spore” which will keep them away for years, or so it says, but it takes some time to build up in the soil.
“Milky spore” just kinda sounds gross anyways.

I’ve had good luck using neem oil and beneficial nematodes. Good luck - they’re pretty awful. Whatever you do don’t use the traps that attracted the beetles with pheromones or whatever, that just brings all the beetles from your area to your yard/garden! This is a good article:
