Cindy, Graeme & myself watered & picked much today. We had ~2gal beans, 2 quarts tomatoes, many hot Serano peppers, a few other hot types of peppers and 4 eggplants! There were a few zucchini, but these are running out & there are no new flowers. So maybe end of season.
The remaining corn was stripped down by an animal. We lost maybe 6-8 ears. Overall, suppermarket corn is better and at 5 for a buck, who can argue?
The beans have been ok, but they tend to be chewy when they are big. My mother-in-law has a type that is more tender & freezes well. It has purple spots. I don't know the name, but we should plan this next year.
We are getting some nice size tomatoes and artichokes!
Tonight I will make a salsa with tomatoes, cilantro, hot peppers.
Since I am taking care of two gardens (my MIL is away for three weeks), I am getting a little burnt out.
