From One Day to the Next

As of yesterday afternoon this is what I still had in my garden...


Blooming tomato plants...


Lots of green tomatoes...


More blooming tomatoes...


A volunteer potato plant...


Volunteer onions...


Green peppers on steroids...

Cayenne peppers...

Jalapeno peppers...I forgot to take a picture of them...


And sweet potatoes.

I haven't done anything to my garden since I don't know when. It didn't really do all that well this summer so I just let it go to do what ever it wanted to and this is what I got.


Well they were calling for a frost last night so I thought I had better go and pick the last of the tomatoes...

and while I was out there I took a look at my peppers and what did I find....


...some mammoth green peppers.


This beast was as large as my hand...

and i wasn't the only one I picked well over a dozen like this.

There was no way that I could ever get all the beast eaten before the rot so I took to my bible study last night and shared when with every one that was there...

so if you didn't come last night you missed out!

Well this morning I woke up to find this outside...


...iced over dog water.

It wasn't the only thing that had some ice on it...




All my garden plants had a nice layer of frost on them.

I went back out a little bit ago and looked at them all again and my peppers weren't lookin' to good but my crazy tomatoes seemed to be perking up...

So who knows they might last a little longer yet. Shoot last year they made it through 3 frosts before they died.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend!

  2. We bushogged our garden a little over a month ago. It didn't do very good this year either!

  3. It was suppose to freeze hard on Wed morning, but it didn't. The last month I had the garden I didn't go in it once. I was tired of it even though it produced great.

  4. That's my kind of gardening! Just leave it be and reap the benefits! Maybe the tomato plants will make it a little longer.
