The Last Summer Harvest

By Manuela Williams

It’s time to put in the fall vegetable garden (which I’ll show you next week). So I pulled out most of the summer veggies. I still have sweet potatoes in the ground but that’s how I’m going to store them and I have peanuts to harvest. I also left one red bell pepper plant because it has lots of buds so I’m hoping to squeeze out a few more peppers since they’re so expensive in the grocery store.

This is what I picked today. We are definitely having eggplant parmesan next week!

homegrown eggplants, bell peppers, shallots

There’s eggplant, bell peppers, sweet cherry peppers and some shallots.

I left some shallots in the ground because you normally plant shallots in late autumn here in Georgia anyway. They should be fine unless it’s  a really wet (they’ll rot) or particularly cold winter.  So I’ll dig them up as I need them or depending on the weather.

zinnias

I was sorry to have to pull most of the zinnias. I’ve really enjoyed them so much this year!

I put up  a survey here that asks you questions about the content of this blog. Please take a moment to complete it if you haven’t already done so. Thanks!

    You truly inspire me with your lovely garden. I have got to find a space in my yard this year to create a vegetable garden.

    I actually had luck with zinnias this year and still have a few adding color to my garden.

    Your tray of vegetables looks colorful and delicious! I’d love to start a vegetable garden next year, even though we have a very short growing season in MN.

    Yummy and your flowers are still pretty. I’m pulling off hyacinth bean vine pods. If you would like to have some let me know…they say parts of it are edible but I just love to look at them. The butterflies and hummingbirds love them too.

    You MUST try Smitten Kitchen’s Eggplant Calzone recipe. Scrumptious!

    Hello Manuela! What a great harvest! Those peppers and eggplants, oh how yummy! That’s what mine would have looked like if the weeds hadn’t taken over our garden this year! The only thing I had was Jalapeno peppers to produce and I can hardly fight my way to get them! We had so much rain the weeds outdid the veggies! So glad your made it! It’s nice to meet ya Georgia girl! I’m from Alabama! Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos! Happy Fall! Blessings from Bama!

    I really missed having a garden these past two years. Your veggies look great!
