I Haven't Been Blogging

I have been too busy at work to blog about the garden, but I did grow a wonderful garden this year.

We had great tomatoes, especially grape tomatoes, bell peppers - red and yellow - and chilis. My hot peppers were mostly hot bananas and long cayenne. I had one big plant that produced some nice New Mexican chilis, but I had no habaneros. I planted the seeds, but never grew any plants.

I did not plant salisfy this year. It takes too much space for too small a harvest.

Cucumbers were great this year, as were the summer squash. Unfortunately, once again the squash bugs destroyed the winter squash before any of them grew large enough. We'll try again next year. The tiny little pumpkin shown is the only pumpkin I grew. It's a bit bigger than a Hershey's Kiss. The plant was supposed to grow normal sized pumpkins. This teensy little one is the only one it grew. I had bumper crops of winter squash and pumpkins for two years and nothing for the past four years. Go figure!

I now have three Aeorgardens growing herbs and salad greens year round. I just love them.
