October Harvest

Long time no post! That’s what happens when you go on vacation and then go back to work full-time while also taking night classes. Had a FANTASTIC vacation in Maine with my mom and younger sister. It was a trip to celebrate my mom’s retirement and birthday. Good times, good memories. Then it was quickly back to the grind. I did visit a amazing garden in Maine called the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and hope to post about it sometime soon. I also owe a post on how my garden was doing in SEPTEMBER! Oh, time, where do you go?

In the meantime, here is a quick post about the vegetable garden and what I am still harvesting. The tomatoes are FINALLY ripening!!!! Crazy, but true. And let me just say, they are absolutely delicious. The best tomatoes I have eaten all season. It’s Brandy Boy from Burpee. I also harvested a few miniature sweet peppers (I forget the variety), a few Super Sweet 100 Tomatoes (the grape-sized tomatoes), and a nice little bunch of lima beans.

Veggies from the garden in early October.

I forgot to include these in my picture, but I am also harvesting LOTS or Mariachi Hot Peppers. I have been adding hot peppers to just about everything lately!
