very nice indeed

Picked the last of my peppers
today. We’re looking at our first frost tomorrow. Still need to pick what tomatoes 
we want 
. I hate to see the garden go but I still have English peas going and they’re loaded and looking great. 
cdavis I usually pickle some of my jalapeno peppers but did not plant a garden this year, maybe next year.

bocephus What, No Garden!? A many can’t live life without a garden. Well, that is what I thought too for years, but I understand. There were a few years in there that I could not find time to do one either for all sorts of reasons & even these days, it is not what they used to be.

calldoctoday I usually plant one but things didn’t work out this year, luckily we have a good farmers market nearby, but still not the same as growing it your self.

bocephus I understand. Sometimes those Farmers Markets are pretty good & make it easy to can & get in the pot. Sadly to say, gardening can be like hunting at times & does not always seem to save you a lot of money, even if you are trying to go all organic.

calldoctoday You do get the satisfaction of eating what you grow though.

bocephus I really like my garden. I can’t imagine skipping a year I would be lost

Surg my peppers started slow but really turned it on in the later part of the season.
-
Pretty much the last of my peppers, some went into a cream cheese and sour cream spread/dip
The rest were dehydrated and turned into HOT seasoning powder
glen - Habanero tooooo hot for me.
-
Surg My hot varieties were late coming and I fought Aphids all season but these were perfect. large, meaty and I didn’t loose any to inside black fungus which is unusual for me

cdavis Peppers are like that. Ours always really hit it hard after everything else has bit the dust & Fall is well under way.

Dug the horse radish up last night. Will be processing tonight!Does processing involve chopping and grinding? If so, is it like some peppers or onions with a lot of aromatics and watering eyes?

YES! And if you get your face over top of processer when you take lid off it feels like your eyes are melting and can’t see for a bit. Have to be very careful -
