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.

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.

The highlight of the 2025 garden is lots of great musk melons. The corn is also solid this year.

Putting the garden in early this year (May 1) yields quick results.
