Harvest Monday

This week has really ushered in the fall weather. The trees are turning color rapidly and the temperatures have dropped. We had quite a few dreary rainy days too, so my time in the garden was quite limited.

 I harvested my biggest and best green peppers this week. I've given up waiting for them to turn red and with frost looming on the horizon, I expect to be picking the rest of the peppers soon. These are the first I've ever grown that are big enough for stuffing!

 Still getting green beans, although they are certainly slowing down. Patch #1 is still at it, but I will be pulling it out this week as I do my fall clean-up.

 Broccoli shoots are also still coming in quite regularly. It's wonderful to be eating home-grown broccoli this year, since we love it so much.

 Now, the significance of the carrot above is that it is from my August planting, so we may be getting some more carrots this year! I have three beds of these August-sown carrots that I really hope to be able to harvest. The tomatoes are the last ones that are trickling in from the few plants that haven't fully died yet.

And I harvested the very last of the reasonably-sized eggplants. There are still a few on the plants that are about as large as my thumb, but this is really about it for the year. The plants themselves are all but dead, so there won't be more.
Not pictured, I was able to harvest enough baby lettuce and Asian greens to make a good sized salad, which was a real treat.
That's it for this week's harvest! Daphne's Dandelions is the host of Harvest Monday, where you can go to share what you've harvested and enjoy seeing what others around the world have grown in their gardens this week. Check it out!
