There are about 6-8 weeks left before we get a frost. If you have fruiting plants (tomatoes, peppers, melons etc.) that have flowers now, they probably won't develop fruit before the first frost hits.
Pinch off any flowers that haven't yet fruited, and it will allow more plant energy to be directed toward the fruit that is already on the plant.
