The Bounty of Bees…

…and other pollinators, of course. I hope your Thanksgiving table is filled with good food and surrounded by people you love.

Lessons Learned #inmygarden: Harvest Purple Beauty peppers before they go green. Harvest Gypsy peppers and Lemon cukes when they show yellow. You can't plant too many Speckled Romas. You can plant too many Stupice cherry tomatoes. Succession planting Tavera haricots verts is a must. ❓What is growing in your garden, and have you learned anything from it this summer?
