harvest monday 9.26

Things are going a little slower in the garden. We had another surprising week of 80 degree weather. Loved it. But now we'll get some cooler temperatures this week. Maybe this will help all the fall veggies start growing? I miss fresh lettuce and arugula. Oh well.

Sweet Banana Pepper

2nd growth Basil

Finally more Brandywine tomatoes! :)

Weekly harvest

Out of control tomato plants. That sweetheart grape is the most prolific and tallest (about  7 ft?)

• Slowly starting to dream of my 2012 garden. Can't wait to plan things a little bit better!
• I wish I would have been smarter with my fall/winter plantings. I think I'm going to put some arugula, spinach and mesclun mixed seeds under my lights in my classroom, because nothing is germinating outside...
• Still waiting for my garlic to come in the mail. I can't wait to rip out all my mildewy squash plants and put the garlic there!
• Overwintering onions are still doing ok. Again, the germination rate wasn't as great as I'd hoped, but I'll still have plenty of onions this next spring if everything goes right. Wahoo!
