The okra is still blooming!
The garden salsa pepper has been the best growing pepper for us this year. Hope to find them again next year. Hubby likes their flavor and amount of heat. They are too hot for me!
Loaded with garden salsa peppers.
Jalapenos have done ok. Nothing out of this world though. I even grew three different varieties.
The tomatoes are still chugging along. The bigger regular tomatoes are slowing down but the paste tomatoes seem to still be doing good as well as though 4th of July plants.
Need to get pickin!
A colander full of salsa and jalapeno peppers just picked.
More okra, 2 cucumbers and a few jalapenos.
One of the jalapeno plants produced a few nice size jalapenos.
Two garden salsa pepper plants produced a huge harvest of peppers this year. They grew a nice size as well as quanity.
Small jalapenos.
And for the finale, 25 more pounds of tomatoes!
I planted Contender bush beans yesterday, and will get the Roma II beans planted today. I'm anxious to try the fall beans since everyone swears they are much better than beans planted in the spring. What's your opinion?
Congratulations! That's a great harvest!

Thanks Mark! I hope to see some harvests from your place soon!
DeleteWe're going to plant a round of fall beans this week, too, since our early green beans didn't produce. We've never planted them in the fall, but what's to lose? If they don't produce enough, we can just till them in as green manure.
ReplyDeleteAnnie that was my way of thinking, what's to lose? I'm glad there is someone who thinks like me. :)
DeleteBTW, what kind are you going to plant? The contenders are only 48 days. My other two kinds are 58 days.
DeleteThat's a wonderful harvest! Your tomato plants look so much healthier than mine and I love those peppers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. I'm really disappointed with my San Marzanos. I am going to try them again next year to see if it is our area or just a bad year.
DeleteIt's been a weird year for us in the garden. We picked our first tomato this past weekend. We are too far north for fall plantings unfortunately....I'll be lucky to get my collard greens full sized before the snow comes.lol
ReplyDeleteSlugmama it has been a really tough year here in my area. Brocolli and cauliflower didnt do well at all. Our potatoes were just ok. The tomatoes actually also are just ok. It has been hard work to keep everything going to get as little as I did.
DeleteI am so jealous of your garden. It is beautful And it's just unbelievable how much you have harvested.
ReplyDeleteThanks Precious. The harvest totals don't include the veggies above. I decided to track it to give me an idea of how much and I am even surprised by the totals.
