We went out just before the FIRST frost warning of 2025 to see what might be left in the garden. A volunteer summer squash?!
But that’s not all. We pulled the peppers and tomatoes.
OK then, squash for dinner.
And fried green tomato for dessert (with spice from Africa).

I mean the poor innocent groundhog was only sunning himself BY THE GARDEN. Good dog.
All groundhogs must die.

Batch 4 (or so) of the year. The tomatillas had very good production.
Who knows, we may squeeze out another batch before the garden winters.

Fresh peppers in late September. Peppers? Peppers!!
Did you see the September summer squash? A volunteer!
With an unwelcome visitor.
Two tiny carrots.
And the only Brussels sprouts that survived the flea beetles (no pesticide).
A reminder why growing a garden is a great idea.

The monkeys were making lots of noise.
But the Spring was pretty quiet.
I found my statue in São Paulo.
We saw capybaras…kinda
Special thanks to Christian for showing us around.

So many beans and so many peppers. But the last of the tomatillos.
Lets make salsa verde.
And then lets make habañero sauce for Eli.
Powerful enough to strip the pot.
We leave you with the pretty part of the garden.
