actually I said my garden was sound to sleep, but it was just resting. I did pick today, but it will be the last: I picked 1/2 dozen hot cherry peppers, 2 were bright red and I picked the most interesting bells I have ever had: why are they so interesting? Because they are just about the size of my thumb and I know they won't get any larger. The cherry peppers are actually bigger.
Cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and parsley - Yum.
Have a few more pumpkins on the vine that I'll probably snip off next week for Jack-o-Lanterns.
All this is container grown on my balcony....away from the pesky Deer.
I just made my last (?) batch of fresh salsa from our garden. I say last, but I'm thinking another batch is a definite possibility. Yesterday, I sliced up and froze a bunch of red peppers.
And I thought I will not report anything till next year, I was wrong. I had 2 baby delicious figs off my new tiny fig tree. Was watering my new plants yesterday morning and noticed these two and gosh I just washed them and they went right into my eagerly waiting mouth. Yum Yum Yum.
Surprise. I did a seed germination test in late July and this week pulled the last of the corn, three acorn squash, and the chinese five color hot pepper is still going strong. I wasn't expecting anything. And we're getting near freeze point.
Here in southern New Mexico, my garden continues to produce bushels of eggplant! It has been a great chile year and I am still picking green chile although the nights are in the 50's and the plants are starting to have some yellowing on the leaves. Hopeless tomatoe year: too wet, tomatoes rotting on the vines while a white mold was even on the soil underneath.
