Things are winding down in the summer vegetable garden. The tomatoes and beans are pretty much done. The cukes and zukes have suddenly crashed--one day they were green and happy, and the next morning they're turning brown and shriveling up. The peppers and eggplants, however, are very happy. This afternoon I picked a huge bowlful of all kinds of hot and sweet peppers. In the picture, from the top, are Giant Marconi (sweet Italian pepper), Poblano (hot!), Anaheim (first one, so I don't know what they're like), Jalapeno, and Golden Baby Belle (tiny yellow bell pepper).
Last weekend we made salsa with some Poblanos and the last of our Roma and Yellow Pear tomatoes. Today, I'm going Italian. I'm going to cook the Marconis, bell peppers, eggplant, and the last of the yellow squash with a few cans of diced tomatoes. It'll make a lovely dinner and I hope we'll have enough to freeze some for later.
