Well, we picked yesterday what I am pretty sure is the last of the harvest. We picked all the green tomatoes on the vine, since the temperatures have cooled off so that they won't ripen. Hopefully they will ripen on the window sill:

We continue to get lots of figs and enjoy eating them right off the tree! We also picked the rest of the peppers.

 

I had planted a bunch of fall seeds, but since I can't water....they will not grow :( So, I look at my pitiful patch of dirt in despair :(

But, the situation here is so dire, I understand.

I will focus next on mulching since thats really about all that can be done.
