Mine are all done. Have been since early July. Too goddamn hot to grow anything now.
I still have a few peppers out, but onions, leeks and tomatoes are all done, although planting for me starts at the end of January.
Have been working on a gardening experiment the last week or so. I've been using cages for my tomatoes forever. Some of the cages are getting pretty feeble from use and need replacing. New cages are WAY more expensive than they used to be, so looking at trellising the tomatoes using bamboo poles instead of cages. Have been boning up on tying clove hitches, along with my wrapping/frapping skills for square and shear lashings. Aside from rusting away, the cages do a piss poor job of supporting the vines after they get five or six feet long. Trellising should do much better at supporting long vines. I have a test setup in place and all indications are that I'm good to put the change into production next year.
Your takings look delicious. I'm sure you'll enjoy them come eating time. I find it very cathartic. Growing vegetables, that is. Those poblanos look particularly good. I grew mariachi and cubanelle peppers this year. The cubanelles will be in the garden again next year. Just a touch of heat and tons of fruity pepper flavor.
