More garden pictures




The garden is still going strong in mid October.

The corn is all done though and most has been cleared out. The zucchini are still producing like crazy and the tomato hedge is still going well and putting on a lot of tomatoes.

One watermelon vine is still hanging on and has a few melons on it that are still getting bigger. The variety is Stars and Moons and I am pretty sure it is not a good variety for such heat as that stunted the growth of the vines. Now that it is cooler the vine seems to be doing better but not putting on any growth other than the melons.

There are a TON of tomatoes in the hedge and the images do a poor job of showing them. But there are a ton hidden around inside the hedge. Most are still green but some are turning.

The pumpkin plants are doing well and starting to flower so that should be good for some pumpkins around Thanksgiving time.

The Ancho Gigantica peppers are doing very very well being partially shaded by the tomato hedge. I think giving them full sun in (failed) years past is what led to crispy pepper plants.
