It’s the time of the year when the basket in the kitchen is almost always full of fresh produce.
When I started growing the peppers, I wasn’t quite sure when to pick them. I was actually waiting to see if they would get any bigger…

They didn’t grow more, but they did start to turn red. I thought they were all green peppers… so that was fun!
And look at this!

We finally got a zucchini! I added some bone meal to the pot and it seemed to help. More rain has probably made a difference too. Either way, I’ll be grilling this up for Dave in a day or two.
Like wise the beans have perked up:


We won’t get a tonne of beans, but we might enough for a meal or two.



The fall berries are ripening nicely! I’ll probably do a batch of raspberry jam soon. The blackberries don’t make it in the house unfortunately.

We even have the odd strawberry, though they are small.
What’s good for eating in your garden.
Gardening is full of surprises!

The rain does made a difference, I’m sure! You can pick peppers as soon as they sound really hollow–they might turn yellow or red–they are sweeter that way!

That’s a sweet little zucchini! We’re having beautiful weather here but we are back in a drought pattern so everything is drying up again. I did pick up some beautiful butternut squash at the Farmer’s Market this week that roasted up perfectly. It’s also green tomato season so I picked up a few of those to airfry for dinner tomorrow.
