Dig a hole, throw scrap in it. Cover it up and say goodbye.
More Pepper Shakers. So far I made 5 total with this years pepper harvests. I think I'll have 3 more left since there's still peppers out there.
I froze peppers once but to be honest, when you take them out to defrost and eat, they aren't the same. Kinda nasty how they get mushy after they defrost.
I never canned them since I don't know anyone who would like that. So I make these. Everyone loves these.
Fall is here. Time to clean up. Already looking empty. lol
Still got some more tomatoes to pick. Temps aren't that cool yet but nothing else has time to form and ripen. Only whats grown on there right now.
Beets and Onions
There are lots of rivers and Brooks in CT and some lost their cars who live near there. but many people don't realize water in their basements is because of the grade near the outside foundation of the home or poor gutter drainage.
Local Home Cheapo still stocking these after the Tropical Storm Ida rains that day. Lots of people had water in their basements.

These too.

We missed the tornado here by 50 miles, had little more than some light wind and rain.
This is what the Tomatoes pretty much look like in September.
So from the 1st ripe one in Mid July to the last ripe ones in mid September... 2 months of Tomato harvest. Some people ask why we still do it. lol Nights dropping into the 50s and days not going above 80. September is pretty much like the month of May
Time to clean up
It was a good season though. Lots of good tomatoes despite all the rains.
Rain Totals:
May: 5.37 inches June: 2.19 inches July: 10.98 inches August: 3.70 inches September: 7.07" so far
Number of Days Temps reaching 85°F or hotter: 34 of 129 days since May 1st
Heat Waves (3 days or more at 90°F+): Only 1 time!
Another season of your wonderful garden posts! Cambium, I look forward to these every year. You will have some good eatin' this winter (I love all your jars of pepper flakes!). See you again next year!
Here's a great easy recipe for a rustic apple galette (Jaques Pepin always a reliable chef) if you own a food processor for the pastry. The pastry is fantastically light and takes 15 seconds, of course peeling and slicing the apples takes more time and bakes for an hour. You won't be sorry. Maybe could do a fig galette hmmm.
Final Cherry Tomato Harvest of 2021. Was a good year
Check out the roots of the Cherry tomato plants.
Final Bell Pepper Harvest
The figs decided to ripen in September when frost and freeze is around the corner. lol I'll take it! I love figs!
Dethatching my lawn for first time in decades. You can see how "good enough" it looked. I am in awe how much thatch and dead stuff got pulled up. And on 1 pass only. I purchased the Earthwise DT71613 13-Amp 16-Inch Corded Electric Dethatcher.
Getting ready for winter. Time to start splitting and stacking firewood
