Harvest

In between the rain and drizzle, we’ve had a few warm temperature days.

Not warm enough to dry anything out really.  Just good weather to get outside for a few more precious hours.

The garden is muddy and weedy; the sunflower seed heads are even molding.

I wanted to harvest the last vegetables, before it gets much colder.

A dishpan full of red and green peppers.

I’m surprised there were that many red ones, but it is October, so they’ve had long enough to turn.

Quite a nice batch of jalapeños.  I’ll just wash them and pop them whole into the freezer.

Some beets.  Sweet golden beets, and a fun striped variety.  Dark red ones I’ll get another  day.

And some green onions and raspberries!

The raspberry bush is still full of potential berries, so I pick a few every other day or so.

Overall, the vegetable garden did very poorly this year.  Some poor planting decisions I made, a lot of rain, not really enough heat.

But the critters didn’t do much damage,  I had lots of flowers,  and the gourds were a success.

And there’s always next year to try again!
