I'd forgive you for thinking this is a spring snap, but oh no, I took it on October 23. What is wrong with this picture?? |
I will admit blessings on the weather for allowing these last few "big ones" to ripen. I chopped them into a mango salsa to top a citrus-grilled halibut filet. Can you say yum? |
Next season, I will plant more varieties with larger fruit. I had a preponderance of dainties like the cherry and celebrity tomatoes. Delicious, yes, but tiny fruit! |
Dear basil, don't tell the tomatoes, but I will miss you most of all this winter! |
The sole bell pepper of the season and *still* not ripe. That sucker is supposed to be YELLOW already. |
Sad tomatoes at the end of their life cycle. Sadder still is that each one is filled with little green orbs as yet. |
The sacrificial tomato. I decided earlier this summer that I'd let one plant go to the bugs. I couldn't seem to stop them but at least the critters left the rest of my crop alone. Mostly. |
The last jalapeno of the season I think |
The onions that I'm guessing will never mature. |
See that giant oak? It's the bane of my gardening existence. |
