The cucumbers as well as the tomatoes and red peppers are flowing in like no one's business...But everything else is on a halt. I think that those three things might be it for the summer; nothing else seems to want to produce! Except maybe the string beans...But we'll have to see about those!
Here are some pickles me and my mom made:
They're more on the sweet side, and I don't really like sweet pickles, so we're going to try a dill recipe as well. They're a huge hit in our house though, everyone else who has tried them loves them!
Here are some of the tomatoes:
A squirrel (or some kind of stinker) keeps going after the roma tomatoes! We've only lost two so far, but they were pretty low on the plant, so I'm hoping we don't lose many more...The roma ones are my favorite. The pear ones are good, but a bit sour for my liking, and the plum tomatoes (the two pictured behind the roma in the front are our first ones!) are a bit bland compared to the roma. They're still good with some salt and pepper though!
And here's a little bug that I found up in the front yard near the flower bed that I thought was cool!:
I've never seen a bug like that before! I especially like it's colors :)
Well that's pretty much it...Sadly I don't have much else to post about. But so I have some material for the fall, what are some good vegetables to grow in the fall in the Pennsylvania area?
Thanks for reading!
