My backyard garden is in transition.  A few extra kale volunteers and some Chinese kale are safely tucked into a row cover.  There is also one row of beets from my own seeds.  (They are a cross of Chioggia and Detroit dark red beets, who knows what will happen?)
Today I picked the last of the sweet peppers and trimmed the branches down to stubs.  Tomorrow I will tuck the plants under the eaves and try to leave them alone during the winter.  I snacked on the last ripe tomato and a few jalapeno peppers.  The peppers weren't hot, typical for this time of year.
This weekend I will harvest the rest of the poblano peppers and slowly turn them into ancho's in the dehydrator.
I had planned to remove the summer vines from several planters and start some winter baby greens, but apparently the tomatoes got the demolition twitter and got back to work.  Will I have Sungold tomatoes at the final locavore potluck in January?  They may be tasteless, but it will still be delicious.
