I appreciated this piece, Sue, as a vegetable gardener for decades.
We haven't had a frost here yet in Quebec, but I pulled up all of the squash plants yesterday, made way too productive in greenery from the composted horse manure that our helper promoted. But I did harvest a variety of squash, not in abundance, thankfully, so that's fine.
It's not really warm enough here to grow delicious tomatillos, but I tried them again this year, as an available nursery transplant. Curious, along with more tomato transplants than I've ever seen. I won't be growing them again, sticking to Swiss chard, beets, pole beans, and compact squash!

I have space for winter squash especially once I expand the area. But no root cellar so storing is the usual issue.
