Fall is traditionally harvest time. There is not much left to harvest. The tomatoes, egg plants and peppers are doing well. The winter squash was a flop. The okra is slowing down almost to a screeching halt. The greens are coming just coming in. There have been greens on the table about 3 times so far. One mess has been given away.
The kale is spotty. The cabbage, spinach and sugar peas will have to be replanted again. The collards and onions are a bright spot. The mesclun is also doing well. The first crop of ghost peppers was harvested after something ate all the leaves. I can’t imagine what would eat ghost pepper leaves.
I gave a couple of ghost peppers to friends. I hope we are still friends. After slicing them into tiny segments, one small bite turned their faces bright red. It would have been a blast to watch the faces of whatever ate the leaves in the garden.
