Today's Harvest, Flowers Bounce-Back

This Weeks Harvest-
I haven't been blogging much since I'm back to work. With huge tech issues district-wide I have been more mentally exhausted than usual!  I'm thru the worst,  I hope :) Now that the weather has finally gotten out of the 90's, the days are shortening, and the veggies are finally getting ripe more quickly. I think the shorter days help get the veggies out of the survival mode, well that's my theory anyway. I'm also getting three eggs almost every day! My two New Hampshires are turning into good layers. Above is today's harvest- mini eggplants (smaller than I thought they'd be), peppers, tomatoes. I love the yellow heirloom ones, colorful!  I also have some gorgeous bell peppers almost ready to pick, just waiting for them to be a bit bigger. I love sauteed fresh garden veggies with garlic and olive oil on pasta... yum. More tomatoes waiting to ripen, and you can see where I clipped off excess foliage to ripen faster, a good trick-

Bloomers Bounce-Back-
Now that the weather is settling into almost fall-ish all the bloomers are having a bounce-back, they re-blooming and setting more flowers! My nasturtiums in the veggie garden above.

 My purple fountain grass is finally get seed heads! I love the look of this...
