Late summer harvests are always so welcome, it’s a last hurrah for great vegetables. My husband and our children did a fantastic job of keeping the garden not only alive, but thriving during the rainless three weeks I was away, no small feat. I was able to bring a nice bagful of vegetables to my mother this week, the queen of vegetables, she was duly impressed.
I learned quite a few things this year with our vegetable garden and next year it will be not bigger, but more diverse and better organized. The most important lesson I learned was space in between plantings is a huge element in the success of your crop, something I will be very mindful of next time. I also learned that propping up your tomato plants is not a choice, but really a necessity and I need better fencing to keep my omnivore pooches from snacking on my vegetables.
I can’t wait for next year. š
I am in awe (as well as very jealous!)
You are going to have your own lovely harvest, just a little patience and a whole lot of love. š
I LOVE peppers! They are my favourite veg. Along with parsnips, sprouts, carrots, onions, sweetcorn…and more š
I love peppers in salad, I love their crunch in the midst of all those greens. My favorite thing about growing vegetables this year has been walking out back and picking dinner, or lunch; between the cucumbers, peppers, lettuce and tomatoes I had an instant salad with the addition of a few peppers, I had a phenomenal salad. š
I can imagine all the great things you will make.
Thanks sweetie!
