Everything is done except for a few chili pepper plants and Midnight Snack tomatoes.

Mrs. Del's little garden in Wisconsin is just starting to produce.

She picked a few zucchini and some serrano peppers. And a couple of unknown peppers -- they look like Anaheims. She has some habanero ripening on the vine.

She planted the hot peppers around her precious bell pepper plants to deter deer and rabbits. I don't know if it worked. All I know is that I don't know what I will do with a bunch of habaneros.

Some green tomatoes are coming along.

My garden has played out except for five Jalapenos. The plants are thriving butt he peppers are small, so I gave it some Stern's Miracle Grow and the peppers started growing larger.
Hmmm....give it some fertilizer, what a novel idea LOL!

I planted okra seeds in two rows, from the same pack of seeds, same fertilizer, same water, same dirt, all the same, and the plants in one row are twice as tall as the other row of plants, and is bearing more pods.

I pulled up vines and weeds, which revealed one last small watermelon. Our rescue dog barked at it, perhaps thinking that it was a turtle.
