			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy October! The garden is giving its last gasp. The cucumbers gave up the ghost long ago, the melons are about done and the zucchini has contacted a disease of some kind. It&#8217;s been a good year, thanks mostly to the <a href="http://www.earthbox.com">Earthboxes</a>, but I&#8217;m pretty sure we&#8217;re near the end of it for 2007.</p>

<p>We really didn&#8217;t get too many melons off these two plants &#8211; at least not as many as I was expecting &#8211; but what got was interesting: honeydew-looking on the outside, cantalope-looking and -tasting on the inside. There&#8217;s one little melon left, then I think we&#8217;re done. It was fun trying something different this year, but I don&#8217;t anticipate planting melons again next year.</p>

<p>The pepper plants are still going strong &#8211; both green and red peppers are still growing.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re still getting tomatoes, too, although they&#8217;re not too big anymore.</p>

<p>There are a couple little zucchini trying to grow, but there&#8217;s some super cold temperatures being predicted, and we discovered some mildew or mold or something infecting the zucchini leaves, so we might have to harvest the minichinis a bit early.</p>

<p>Thus ends another successful gardening season! See you all next year!</p>
