It's Finally That Time of Year!

Ah, the anticipation is starting to build.  It's that time of the year when all your hard work pays off.  Yes, it's getting to be Harvest Time!  Wait, you say, it's only the beginning of August.  I picked veggies out of the garden yesterday!  Yeah, the crowd cheers!   Okay, so it was a couple of green peppers (kinda small, too!), a dozen or so Banana Peppers and approximately 3 dozen Jalapeno Peppers.  But there are still lots on the plants and the cayenne could be picked now too.  There are even green peppers on the habaneros.  Yippee, more hot sauce!

But, the best find in the garden this weekend was this....

Yessss!  It's almost tomato time.  The best time of the summer.  Garden fresh tomatoes.  Yum-O!  The ones you can buy in the grocery store year round are just pathetic.  They're mealy and have zero taste.  I can hardly wait to slice into one of the red-orange globes of deliciousness.  It will be tomato frenzy for about a month.  Eating, juicing, freezing, canning.  And then they're gone for another year.  I can hardly wait.

Oh, yes.  I promised the hubby I would show off his pride and joy this year.  Ghost peppers.

He's on his own with these bad boys!
