If you know you will be out later in the summer, then the whole plant after ripening later - when you're fresh. This method works well for tomatoes, chilies and peppers, beans etc.3: Harvest before you leave. If you are going to be gone a week or so, all grains, even those that are too small for use. Beans stop production when allowed to ripen, so choose those that are mature while away. Do the same with eggplant. Tomatoes and peppers, in general, or may remain on the vine or dropped on the floor without damaging the plants. Collect all the female flowers of summer squash plants. It's amazing how quickly we can grow a pumpkin the size of a house, when you're not looking. Take all fresh vegetables with you, especially if you are visiting friends or relatives. I'm sure you'll love it.4: Get on top of weeds. Remove any larger weeds. I do not want to go home to find your garden taken by Triffids. And gardeners know that a season of weed seeds, means seven years weeding! 5: Water deeply. Although it has rained just before leaving, you should still give your plants a healthy watering before you leave. Better yet is to have an irrigation system set with a timer - set and forget.6: Apply fertilizer. The thick padding (15cm / 6 inches) of peas with wet straw or similar after a good watering.
