I'm getting a lot of ripe tomatoes finally. Sadly my tomato plants look like doo...but this does not seem to have affected the crop. The lemongrass I bought is big and pretty and makes delicious tea. I'm definitely growing it again. Currently I have more beans than I can eat, and am getting okra still.
Surprisingly the seeds I put in for the fall veggies seem to have pretty much all sprouted. That was quick! Well except the lettuce, but I think I put too much dirt on them.
I have a very pooped out garden right now, but I do have about 4 nice looking tomatoes ripening, a bunch of teeny red hot peppers and a green pepper. My herbs are still looking good. I just planted new oregano and a sage plants.
I picked 3 little pathetic tomatoes today and do have a few okra left but am thinking of just saying a prayer over the whole garden in a couple of days, giving it the last rights and letting hubby do his thing with it. A handful of okra isn't worth worrying about. I still have our potted peppers, they should be around for another month or so.
Check out the latest eggplant from my backyard raised beds. Boy what a great year this has been for almost everything!
Those are BEAUTIFUL! Admittedly, I'm not much for eggplant, but my Ichiban has produced 34 eggplants so far (grown in a bucket). Not sure if that's "normal" or not, but according to a neighbor who's been growing for 40 years, she's never seen anything like it.
Absolutely Gorgeous! Makes you almost not want to eat them right.
Ugly or pretty I wouldn't want to eat them: I have tried and tried, I will just continue to look at them and will never eat one again. As for growing them, forget it. If I don't want to eat it, certainly don't want to bother growing them. Now I have, in my old age decided Okra is really pretty good. No, not at the top of the veggie list for me, but I will plant it again. It is great grilled.
I custom made a potato plow for my Gravely that works like a charm in my loamy soil. I plowed out 9 rows and most of them had more potatoes than this one. I averaged over 1 bushel per row.
This is awesome to me (who's growing one cut-up sprouted tater in a bag).

Good year for eggplant!
