It's mid-October, and while much of the garden has died and been overrun with weeds, I'm really pleased with how much is still being produced. Crook-neck pumpkins are ready, and the vines are still flowering and producing fruit that has no hope of reaching maturity. Peppers in all varieties are doing very well. The attached pic shows what I harvested this morning...only a fraction of the ripe peppers still in the garden. If you want some heat, get your butt over to the Givler Garden. I'm also finally getting carrots like I want them to be...long and thick, not the shrivelled hairy stubs from 2 months back. Sweet potato vine is taking the garden over, and where the vines were planted, the roots have started to push up and make mounds. I'm not going to harvest them until after the first frost and the vine dies back, but I'm stoked about them. I've been putting the leaves in my salads. Tasty.
