I am tired too, still harvesting some it has been such a good year. Every year we are blessed and especially with these gardening threads. Diana thank you for taking over for Greeneyes who graduated. I have learned much from the threads, made friends and been able to share. We are still getting costa rican red peppers, chinese long beans, herbs, a little broccoli, zucchini, just a few tomatoes, and about 15-20 butterkin squash still maturing. Shishitos almost done! Two nice recipes that we love, the shishito spread and the tomato bacon jam. I have small freezer containers made up with each.
It had been a lot of hard work, but so worth it.
That Tomato Bacon Jam is to die for! So far friends and relatives that have tried it are asking for more, so I picked more Roma-types today and will oblige. :)
Glad you’re still loving the Shishitos - they didn’t have them at my Walmart this season as they did last season, but they spent the majority of the Spring and Summer remodeling the whole place; the Garden Center wasn’t as fun or plentiful as normal...and I STILL can’t find what I’m looking for on any given day! :(
My broccoli is STILL performing! That ‘Lieutenant’ variety from Bonnie’s is simply amazing. I’ve got actual HEADS of broccoli again to cut!
Right now, I’m down to the last of the tomatoes and those will just be put up ‘as is’ for soups and stews and my beloved ‘Pepper Steak’ which I make with beef (when I have it) or Elk or Bear meat.
Still have apples to deal with, and then garden clean up, but I still have a good 30+ days of growing season left so more salad greens and such are going back in as I clean out beds.
