Here we are, almost November, and I am still getting a few tomatoes on the most pitiful vines left. I have 3 or 4 lbs of ripe jalapenos and habaneros in the refrigerator, more on the plants (I’m peppered out), and this is the crazy part...I’ve even got a few little blackberries here and there on the blackberry bushes! This has been a long growing season. I didn’t get my fall garden in, but that’s ok. I canned and froze more than I can use. I need to get the rabbit poo and leaves tilled into the garden, and put it to bed. I look forward to winter nights when I can sit by the fireplace and plan next spring’s garden.
I have a few cherry tomatoes and a couple of beefsteaks hanging on too. We got no peppers this year, but I still have some that I froze last year for stir fry in vacuum bags, and they are still ok. Also a few packages of dehydrated to use in soups and chili.
