The New Mexico peppers are moving into bulk harvest mode. I expect I'll be processing a bunch of them by mid-next week.

Tons of green tomatoes, even after losing some limbs from the wind.

The remaining squash after the wind storm are doing well, and I'll have fresh squash tonight again for supper.

Tobacco is doing great, and I'm keeping ahead of the horned tobacco worms, mercilessly killing the little buggers every morning and evening when I find them. They are getting rare.

Everything is doing great, including the dipper gourd plant that I didn't expect to do well here.

Oh, and I have my first baby cantaloupes now, too.

Glad to hear you are going to have a decent crop in spite of the high wind storm damages. I hate processing in the water bath canner or pressure cooker during the summer, but that’s the way I do pickles. Tomatoes too, since the freezer went on the fritz.
