We still have a little bit to go. I told my son, if we could load up on the water & organic fertilizer, we might even be able to get a few more Eggplants & Winter squash if the weather stays exactly the way it has been the past week or so (wishful thinking). Peppers are still on the run though (Cubaneros, Cayenne, Jalopoleno, Poblano, Chili). Tomatoes bit the dust. I tried trimming them back as sometimes that works to bring out a late season crop, but not this year. Never go enough this year to make any sauce & can it up, just several quarts of Salsa, that did not have to be canned as it goes too quick, salads, & mater & mayonnaise samwiches.
calldoctoday Garden is toast for the year. Snow all melted so was able to dig Gladiolas bulbs, plant some replacement tulips and some garlic. About ready for winter.

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 those are some really nice looking peppers!
-
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.

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
