Hey guys! I just wanted to give everyone an update on how my vegetable garden is doing as summer comes to an end. I think we have only a few more weeks of good weather, so hopefully I'll still be able to harvest a good amount before the cold settles in.
I'm sad to say that the tomato garden is no more. Tomato plants are pretty sensitive to cold weather and they MUST have sunlight in order to survive, so I guess the few days we've already had of rain and cloud did away with the heirloom, cherry, and grape tomato plants. Here is a picture of my last summer tomato harvest.

I had an excellent haul of tomatoes this year, and I definitely want to expand next year's crops and grow roma varieties too. Luckily my tomatoes did not contract any diseases, although a few of my tomatoes cracked a bit.
My peppers, on the other hand are still going strong! My habanero pepper plants are still doing well and some peppers are even starting to turn red-orange. I picked a few when they were still green, and they were already spicy, but I'm thinking leaving the peppers on the vine.

My bell peppers are also doing well, a few of them are starting to turn red as well. Bell peppers are still coming up in a few plants, so I hope the weather stays warm enough to allow them to grow.
