I had Hubs go pick what was still left in the garden, except for the Collards on Sunday morning. We experienced the first frost of the season this past week so all the plants(besides the collards and eggplant)are dead.
Here is our next to last harvest for the year.....
That's a mess of jalapenos, some green bell and Italian roasting peppers.
The vine holding our last lone butternut squash had a surprise baby squash on it. The baby is only about 4 inches tall so we'll see if we actually get anything edible from it once it's peeled and all.lol
I had picked about 14 tomatoes, the last for the year, in between this harvest and the one mid-October. I used some when I made a batch of fresh pasta sauce, but things got away from me here and I ended up letting some of them go bad, so back into the garden bed they went with the rest of the compost. I'm not counting those in the garden totals, nor the ones that went into the sauce since I didn't think to weigh them first.
Update on the Eggplants....
The plants are still alive and kicking. Since the temperatures have dropped significantly here in the last few days, I'm not sure how much more time I've bought those eggplants to grow but anything helps, right?
I'll be picking them in the coming week I think, along with the collard greens.
*Update*
I just went out to check on the eggplants and the temps. last night did the plants in so I had to pick them. More on them in a day or so....
