Goodnight, Garden.

CatMatt put the garden to sleep after another season. As in previous years, they learned a lot about bugs and dirt, and ate a lot of ratatouille.

This year's tally:
12 cucumbers, 34 eggplant, 40 green beans, 15 pints of grape tomatoes, 5 yellow squash, 56 Roma tomatoes, 8 Champion (big) tomatoes, 16 golden bell peppers, 61 poblano peppers, and 11 (mixed) gourds.

Next year's goal:
Destroy squash beetles ... and early.

Halloween.

CatMatt carved pumpkins, made gauze ghosts, and served candy and PlayDoh to at least 80 trick-or-treaters this Halloween.
