The Start of the End ~ Garden Season


 While another batch of tomato soup reduced, I got some cherry and other tomatoes put in the dehydrator.


I yanked all of the hot pepper plants yesterday.  Such a good feeling to get them out.  We ended up getting 21.47# of jalapenos this year, making 4 batches of cowboy candy and even selling some.


I also started yanking tomato plants.  What's worth saving is being brought in before the weekend.  It's gonna be pretty chilly Saturday morning.  Woke up to 46°F this morning.





I some how got beef stew made in the crock pot as well, and I got one bite.  Hubby had 2 bowls before he accidentally dropped all of it and he said it was the best he's ever had.  Sigh.  Wish I had gotten a bowl, but he was so mad I didn't say a thing.  I will have to make it again.

I am thrilled that you are been rewarded with some great crops for all your hard work. The beef stew looks very tasty.

oh, that is so awful to lose a whole (almost) batch of stew! Did the chickens enjoy it after you scraped it up off the floor?
