Went out today and snapped some pics of my garden. It definitely has that late summer look now. Even though it is small by some standards, it really produces lots of food. Certainly enough for the two of us. Enough to preserve, give away and feed the chickens, too. I am now starting to grow my peppers in pots which live in the small GH until late July when I move them outside. Last year I grew them in the garden beds and got so few that it wasn't worth taking up the space. This way, I can move them back when the weather gets cool and I think they will keep on producing until very late autumn. In a mild winter they may even make it through and produce very early. I have already had several long eggplant fruits and the poor thing looks tired now. We just don't have the warm weather needed for peppers and/or eggplants, so I guess you have to baby them to fool Mother Nature.
