Now that my fall crops have been growing quite well I also am still harvesting various vegetables that I grew this summer. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and some beans are what is left of the summer harvest right now.
My beans are probably done for the year and they have not been producing any more flowers. There might be some that are hidden within the leaves, but I think it is safe to say that they have given their all.
My tomatoes are also going the way of my beans and are done with producing new flowers for new fruits that can be harvest. Luckily there is one beefsteak tomato plant that doesn’t want to give up and is still growing tomatoes. As for flowers I think it is done, but the plant still has fruit on it that I will be harvesting sometime this month and hopefully before a frost.
Peppers are another vegetable that I am still harvesting through the month of October. These plants grew quite well this season and I have probably picked several dozen throughout the year using them for various things including a couple of batches of homemade tomato sauce. There are still a few on these plants that I will be picking this week, but once I pick these last ones that will most likely be it for them.
Last but not least are my eggplants that have grown the best out of most of my garden plants. This could be due to the fact that I grew over 20 eggplants in the garden. It was just a numbers game that I will have many eggplants to pick. I have been picking them on a regular basis and I still have plenty out in the garden to harvest. I would say that this is the largest harvest of eggplants I have ever received.
