I really don't expect anyone to read these garden updates. I really just do them for myself. That being said, it has been a pretty good garden this year.
My tomatoes have blight, but I have still been picking plenty, and it looks like they will survive and give me at a small but steady supply until the frost. I have made plenty of salsa, and I just love it. Also, the cherry tomatoes make great sun dried tomatoes, and that is what I have been doing with them. I just put them in the food dehydrator with...
My green beans. I used to freeze them, but I have a smaller freezer, now. I prefer to freeze my salsa and freezer pickles. Though most of my green bean plants were killed upon sprouting, I got a fair amount of very strong pole beans that have been furnishing me plenty.
My cukes and definitely slowing down, and some of the plants appear to be dead. I had a great harvest of them, and the bulk ended up as the above mentioned freezer pickles. I will be enjoying them for months to come.
My ground cherries are scrumptious and I have been getting about a handful a day. Most of them I eat right in the garden.
I have had so many peppers! Whatever I don't use right away in salsa and such go right to the food dehydrator. They are another thing I used to freeze, but they are just as good dried.
I haven't harvested any tomatillos, yet, but they are loaded with blossoms and fruit. I have a feeling I will have plenty of them, in spite of not having many plants.
I started harvesting my dry beans, and there are still lots on the plants that are still growing.
The zukes are mediocre, but since I have enough plants, that isn't a problem.
I will have some impressive winter squash, too.
