Fall is here. The garden is nearly done. The yellow tomatoes are finally producing. I made a second batch of tomato soup and got 24 pints. I made 2 quarts of tomato juice yesterday. I have some tomatoes in the freezer that I will make into juice also. I have been putting tomatoes in the freezer to made the soup when I had time, and that worked really well.
We picked the rest of the peppers, I've put most of them in the freezer to use in soup.
I tried a mixed pepper seed package and got purple peppers, this one is starting to ripen and is a pretty shade of dark red.
We had a low of 49 degrees about a week ago. We've had several days right around the equinox with cool, sprinkly weather. Not rainy, since we haven't had much of that this year.
Our neighbor has just finished combining his corn, after which we had two days of high wind to make sure that shucks are cleaned out of that field and blown into our yard, patio and flower garden.
This has been a pretty nice summer, without very many hot days. The beginning of September we had several days nearing and over 100 degrees.
We seem to have given up on the flower gardens. I am hoping that I will have energy enough next year to start from the beginning of the season.
