I picked a lot of arugula but had to toss it all. It got so spicy in a late Summer heat wave it was inedible. I am hoping the lettuce that grows back in will be much milder now that it has cooled off considerably.
Surprisingly a pepper did finally grow, it is the only one I have gotten this year. I left it on the plant for weeks hoping that it would turn red since it was a red pepper plant but at this point since the weather has begun to change I went ahead and picked it. A green pepper it is!
The tomatoes I pulled off in prepping for the light frost over the weekend. The cherry ones are ready but all the larger ones will probably have to sit on the counter for a week before being edible.
First frost! Don't even utter those words! Nice harvest, though. I, too, have tomatoes sitting on the window sill. I guess it's just what we do!
ReplyDeleteAnd a very beautiful green pepper it looks too. Not to mention those fabulous looking eggplants.
