Early harvest

We have been pretty busy harvesting the past few weeks. The potato bed is still going great guns, which is a much longer growing season than usual.

We have harvested a few plants that have packed in it and they have yielded spuds of a good size.

I also harvested some beats that were growing in the lawn (seed must have failed out of my pocket)?

We're having some late-season luck with peppers, both hot and bell. I think the plants are finally setting fruit now that the scorching summer heat has passed.

The success story of the year continues to be basil. We've given away gallons of leaves and I've made everything I can think of, including infusing a bunch into some olive oil.

The early apple tree has even harvested. We had good crop and they were super tasty this year (with hint of peach), perhaps because of the heat?

Jess turned a bunch into rings and dried them. We still have the later tree to get to. They are just turning nice red colour.

We also have a bunch of drying beans, carrots, and potatoes to harvest. But they can wait a few weeks while we enjoy a nice autumn.
