The Last Garden Harvest?

I think my vegetable garden is almost done for the season, tonight we have a frost alert so I gathered up most of the vegetables that are tender to the cold. I picked most of the peppers, the last of the tomatoes, a couple eggplant, and some watermelon that are just getting full size.

My tomatoes were a bit of a disappointment this year. I had 18 different varieties, some did well, but most did not. I think it’s because our summer was cool, and it never did get very warm.

The peppers on the other hand were in overdrive!  I’ve given quite a few away, and frozen several bags of both hot and sweet peppers. I picked a couple eggplants that were left, but I left some in the garden since I know I won’t eat them. I like eggplant, but not that often. I might make some eggplant Parmesan and come back to share the recipe.

I planted a couple plants of watermelon this Spring. I’ve never had much luck growing watermelon, but these have grown great. Their a small variety, and they’re supposed to be super sweet.

There are still some root vegetables in the garden, and some cabbage, I don’t think the frost will hurt them, but I’ll probably need to pick them soon.
