First Broccoli harvest of this season. This is green magic broccoli.
Is it Hk grown or not?

I say Hk.
I dont think I put my broccoli out early enough. When did you start your seeds?

The Japanese persimmon has a unique taste and fruit matures here in the fall. Easily frozen and best used in breads, cakes, muffins.

Fall tomatoes are a "crap" shoot by just about any measure here in East Texas. The window for producing them is very small...only a very few days in which the plants can set fruit which will ripen in time to beat the first frost. This year it's been "7 come 11" with nice ripe tomatoes available every day now for a couple of weeks and that should continue until that killer frost hits which could come any day now.
The fruits are generally smaller and much fewer in number than in spring but the good news is minimum insect problems.
I'll keep enjoying this blessing as long as it lasts.

@Meadowlark what kind of maters are those?

The dark red one is from an Arkansas Traveller and the other two are from Heatmasters.

Onions harvested last May and removed from storage today...."Today's pickings"
Still taste almost as good as fresh from the garden at 6 months of storage.
About 1/2 the original crop or about 100 pounds still remain in storage, but they will go fast with the Holidays approaching and lots of food preparation.

Terrific! Pumpkin pie at Christmas?
My harvested onions are day-long, so they come out in August, & I have enough left to last until May, so I grew some short-day onions which will be harvested, all going well, in early June.
There's about 60 there, so if I only get 40 decent ones, that'll do until August.
I live at a latitude where day-long do very well, & day-short, reasonably well.
We've had some (relatively) mild weather, so they, the garlic & shallots for next year are through & growing.
Winter is mild enough not to bother onions.
