With the grapes purpling and the crabapples ready to be picked, it’s time to start degardening the vegies. Here’s a photo of habaneros, jalapenos and Thai peppers.
The habaneros were picked a little early but there’re quite a few of them so I needed to get some off the plants. Pulled out some of the tomato plants which fell victim to fusarium wilt and it looks like it’s salsa-making week ahead of me. As well as pesto-making if I can find pignoli nuts at a reasonable price. The basil was left in to remain fresh for pesto since I realized I still have a quart jar of dried basil from last year. I pulled and prepared most of the dill for drying, leaving two clumps in place to set seeds. I do use my own seeds since if you buy a packet, you get barely enough to bother planting, though every five years or so I do splurge and buy new ones.
It’s that end-of-summer feeling again.
