Garden Update & Harvest 10/4/15

 
 10/4/15 - Garden still has plenty of produce even after a frost! All that died from the last time I visited were the basil plants and ground cherry tomatoes.
 10/4/15 - Another harvest of Cayenne peppers. It's a shame we don't have a long growing season. In spite of planting these the same time as all the rest in February, they were a late bloom with plenty of peppers, but I'm not sure how they will survive or thrive with the cold weather. The plant usually yields a ton of peppers!
 10/4/15 - Today's harvest...Lots of Swiss Chard, 1 bell pepper, 4 Cayenne Pepper, Ground Cherry tomatoes, Giant Green onions and Curled Scotch kale
 10/4/15 - It's a shame how many ground cherry tomatoes parished with the cold weather. All the white dots are fruit!
  10/4/15 - Giant sweet bell peppers, 5 colored Chinese peppers and Cayenne pepper
 10/4/15 - Still so much Swiss chard. A favorite in soups all summer!
 10/4/15 - Another plentiful plant, the Curlsed Scotch kale, also a favorite in my soups
