I really didn't mean to let so much time lapse between posts. I do apologize, but sometimes life gets in the way. Since I ended my last post with the container garden, let's begin there.
This is my garden. It has been this way since the fifth of July. It will stay this way probably until next Spring. To state that this has been a strange Summer would be an understatement.
These are my tomatoes on the same day. They look pretty good, don't they. Yeah, I had MAYBE a dozen tomatoes. By the end of August they were done. I didn't take any pictures after these two. To be fair, the cherry tomatoes did produce off and on, but they just didn't have the same taste! It's really a shame because I always put lots of tomatoes for marinara sauce and chili in the freezer. It's going to be a long Winter.
Now the big guy's Ghost Peppers, on the other hand, went CRAZY!
We just picked the final batch of peppers this week. That's how nice the weather has been this Fall. He has made a couple of batches of sauce using my habanero recipe.
I made him cook and process the peppers outside. The house would have been unlivable if we had done any of this inside. And believe me, outside wasn't much better! One or two drops puts a nice Zing to whatever you are making. More than that, someone is going to be hurting!
