This week, I linked up to Daphne's Dandelions again. Most of the gardens around the country are slowing down, but I'm excited mine is still going! Not a whole lot of variety this week, but I'm still satisfied. :)
The garden has really benefited from a "second" summer heat wave and the first fall showers. I'm happily enjoying picking my cherry/grape tomatoes and watching everything continue to grow in our 80+ weather.
I finally, finally harvested my red cabbage. This baby was transplanted in....MARCH! Can you believe it? Good thing the purple leaves were so beautiful, I decided to keep it around this long. We used some of it tonight in a Yakisoba noodle stir-fry. Delicious!
Most of this bowl if filled with sweetheart grape tomatoes. The rest are yellow pear, early girl tomato, oregon cherry and a few small san marzano romas.
A few small harvests of carrots, zucchini and tomatoes aren't pictured as they were quickly pulled for dinner or to bring to neighbors/family.
The only disappointment with our end of summer heat is that most of the seeds I planted for a fall harvest haven't germinated. Not sure if they will... My cascadia peas are doing great, but I'm starting to miss fresh garden greens. So far none of my lettuces have germinated. Hrrmph!

Lovely harvests...isn't it nice to get a second summer? My fall garden may not make it either, but for the deer. Hope you get some surprise germination!
I hope your lettuce comes around and does well for you. That cabbage is really nice!
