Fall has arrived, and with it the heat of Summer is finally fading in Kansas. For now we get to enjoy the warm days and cool nights. Time to make one of the last few passes through the garden and collect what bounty it still has to offer. Two varieties of tomatoes and many varieties of peppers are all that are left to pick.
State of The Garden
The tomato plants, in the back, are almost finished producing. Only a few dozen Supersweet 100 tomatoes and a couple small Better Boys are still on the vine.
The pepper plants, in the foreground, are still producing peppers at an astounding rate. I expect we will still be picking peppers well into October if the weather stays warm and we don't get an early frost. Other than the Green Bell Peppers, we have the little Sweet Red Peppers, Sweet Yellow Peppers and Banana Peppers.
That's about all that's left. The zucchini vines have all died, so after we eat the last zucchini in the pantry, there will be no more home grown until next year. The last few onions were picked last week and are awaiting their culinary fate.
Until next time...
