Reaping

The year of the garden continues . . .  The crops have been super abundant this year.  We are enjoying tomatoes.

Tomatoes and onions go well with jalapeños.  And together they are the major ingredients in salsa.  (We harvested the garlic some weeks ago.)

Of course when you stuff them, wrap them in bacon and bake them, they make delicious poppers.  The peppers have particularly nice flavor this year. :food:

With fall coming on, we are looking forward to our butternut squash.  We are particularly fond of these, and we have plenty.

The squash went crazy and ended up filling about half the garden.  This is only one corner of the plot.

Sylvia has some softball size beets and how do you take a picture of potatoes?  We’ll only find out later how good they are.  Okay, I’m tempted to burrow with my hands and get one now.

  1. Tomatoes and bell peppers only in a couple of six-square foot plots, but abundant; actually had to cook up tomatoes or lose them– can’t eat them fast enough. Sorry only that I neglected to plant my serranos this year. Miss my hot peppers, but Jo does not.

    • Your plots would be much easier to care for than Sylvia’s veggie garden. Hot peppers are good and good for you. :food:

    • Passion fruit is very good. Unfortunately, we cannot grow that here in our west Michigan garden. Enjoy your harvest.
