Here we are in the final part of the summer, and the garden is producing like crazy! Hopefully things finish growing before it gets too cold. It's already gettting into the high 40's at night. The chillier weather is coming, and the veggies are sucking up the final days of warm sunshine.
Green peppers are growing bigger everyday. I think there is 3 or 4 of them. They grow noticeably daily.
We have been harvesting Basil all summer. Natalie has been using it to make some amazing pesto with lots of garlic. It's delicious!
Shortly after we planted the tomatoes, we didn't think they were going to make. They were really struggling and turning brown. Now look at them, they are growing like crazy! Just waiting for some fruit to ripen. They each have 3-4 tomatoes growing on them.
The Broccoli has some kind of bug eating the leaves, but I can't find anything. That being said, it's still growing out of control! There is a small head forming in the middle of the plant.
In the last month, the peppers have just taken off! The Jalapenos (above) should be ready to harvest soon, just waiting for some "stretch" marks on the shoulders. The Serranos below will be ready as soon as they start to turn red/brown. There are about 6-7 jalapenos growing, 6-7 serranos, and then the couple of green peppers on the plant above. Looking forward to having some peppers and tomatoes to make some salsa!
