Another late tomato season. Picked 50 black and yellow cherry also.

Picked Friday. Made stuffed peppers with the red bell, poblano and mexibell peppers. Didn't use up all the poblanos.



I tried morning glory on the trellis two years ago. Now they self seed and have been growing on the trellis and elsewhere near by every year. Here are some on the fence.

Haven’t been keeping up with the garden. Gotten a few zucchini. Had to weed before I got a nasty gram from the garden czar.

Third season with these, and they'll last at least one more.
Each is in/on a rolling tray that holds some water from the sprinkler - so even in an extended drought, they can wick-up water.

Hard part is prep in the spring - can't just take a shovel and start turning things over -
we dig some out into a wheelbarrow, add "stuff" and put it back - I feel like we should have a pile somewhere, and just dump/compost/refill
I just do what i'm told!

Late season, the black cherries are good, bigger ones not great.

Did we start this already?

Put cages around there pawpaws and persimmon so they can't get away. 6' high, 4' square. Cleaned around the bases, put in coconut mats. Flower buds are abundant. Planted in 2022.

Those cages look great for keeping the deer away while they're young. We just started our prep as well, mostly focused on the perennial beds.
