Made a tunnel yesterday with PVC and clear plastic. Didn't work out exactly as I thought it would but it might just hold up. Need a good wind storm to really know.
Made a toasted garlic-roasted chile-tomato-savory sauce last night. Used New Mexico #6 and Numex Anaheims. Surprised at how much it tasted like an enchilada sauce.
Cut up two more honeydew melons today. mmmm. The nose wasn't too much, but they started to get soft after yellowing. One is sweeter than the other but together in the same container melds them. Appears that eating melons seasonally in Colorado means October. I think the last one might ripen after Nov 1.
Down to 1 big yellow bowl of green tomatoes. The four section plate is full with the ripe ones.
Peppers are good. I have a big bag of ripe multicolored peppers in the fridge. The chocolate beauties have come nicely from the green to brown since I picked them all two weeks ago. The ones in the bowl are getting wrinkly.
G ate almost the last of the cucumber tonight...
First harvest of Tuscan Kale. Its a superb late planting. Had our first daikon and long red radishes.
The large chicory and the escaroles are not handling the cold--some getting tip burn. The raddicio is doing great but not sure I'll get heads before the hard frost comes.
The basil under the new pergola still hasn't frozen!
Not sure, don't think any of the larger brassicas or cabbages are going to make before freeze. Looks like they might need to be either a lot bigger transplants or planted a lot earlier--hard to say--but Aug 15th didn't get it done. Kales are doing fine though.
that's all.
