Spaghetti Squash

I made a Spaghetti Squash dish for Rosh Hashanah. I forgot to take a picture of the dish before it was served and only got the tail end after the mim ate all the topping. It was good! I saved the seeds to plant and share next spring.

The End of the Tomatoes

These are so ugly...and the tomatoes are rotten inside. Can you see the blight spots even in the stems of the plants and in the reds of the tomatoes?

Pepper Jam

My neighbor, Mr. Hench gave me canning supplies. I loved making Pepper Jam using the supplies and my Chili Peppers. This jam is HOT!! I figure it will be good in Vegetarian Chili, on toasted bagels and cream cheese, my homemade salsas and on Western Omelets. I am not kidding when I tell you this is HOT!

:(

OK...I have learned my lesson. When you have the very beginning of blight? Pull out the entire plant and carefully bag it. The tomato plants were just too close to the bird house vines and now I think they too have blight. Let's all just acknowledge that to pull seemingly healthy plants is very hard to do. Maybe I need to avoid any plant from the Solanaceae family in my garden for a couple years. Since this includes potatoes, tomatoes, chili peppers, eggplants and petunias, it will be a challenge. I still wonder if I am correct that the bird house gourd vines have blight?

Very Green Tomatoes

Rather pathetic, I know. They will probably rot, so I may pick them off the vine tomorrow. I was hoping at least a few would be vine ripened successfully before the blight took them.

Pollination Continues

The pumpkin blossoms are still being pollinated by the bees...see him waaaay in there before he climbs back out? Actually there are THREE bees in there making it look black at the base.

Peppers, peppers, peppers

I have to figure out how to preserve the green chilies. I may freeze some to add to recipes later.
