My father would get us in the car and drive us around out in the country to go to orchards for apples. Great memories!
Clean up here too. About 3 weeks til first frost date, so I will leave tomatoes out until at least October 15. Peppers have already been pulled up.

Mosquitero, an Ancho Pepper variety will not be replanted. The first 5 peppers were very good, but after that all the plants wilted and I never got any more inspite of fertilization and increased watering. Not planting again. Blot pepper; beautiful, good taste. May plant again. Shishito peppers; Small compact plants, lots of small tasty peppers with quick production. Definitely growing again. Great choice for people with Balconies or garden apartments! Chevna Chuska from Seed Savers next year if they sell them. Which peppers did you grow?

Thinking about using to make raised bed sides I can get a 2'x8' galvanized steel corrugated roofing panel for $21.

1' high x 2' wide x 6' long. Or 2 panels and make the sides 2 feet high. Maybe next year. Cover with frost rated garden fabric and use for a cold frame!

** 12 foot panels are $31!

...and two yellow and two purple bells, just for fun and more colorful Stir-fries and Fajitas.

It was pretty much a, ‘use up pepper seed on hand’ season. :)
