Gone Feral In Idaho

Black Cherry and Super Steak Brandywine and Super Steak Super Sweet Cherry 100 Jalapenos, zucchini, and 3 Black Krims We started our fall plants, Two varieties of broccoli, collard greens, arugula, and shallots. Next weekend the garlic gets planted.  The cucumbers are doing really well this year. Something ate our 3 melons completely before they ripened.  the white powder is premethrin dust. Happy Autumn!

My favorite photo blog Your Apples are My Oranges  has some beautiful photos of McCall Idaho, a couple of hours north of Boise.  Emily's posts are a constant inspiration and I had a ton of fun this summer watching her garden grow along with ours.  

The forecast for tonight had frost warnings so we did a big harvest that is taking up every windowsill in part of the house.   We've got tons of tomatoes and hot peppers.  For the peppers above we have L-R: Salsa Carnival Mix, Zavory, and on the right are cayenne.    I picked the one and only Chantarais type melon of the season as the vine was browning and the leaves were getting crunchy.   We covered the raised beds for potential frost tonight. The east garden is looking ragged.  We won't be doing Brussels sprouts next year as they take forever to grow , we haven't gotten a single sprout, and no matter what I try they end up swarmed in aphids.  The scarlet runner beans were way to hairy to taste good, but we will use them a dried beans for chili.  The beans are quite striking in their coloring.   I moved all the containers off the front porch to make room for the witch.  I kinda like them here.
