Tea shrub is starting to bloom. If left on the plant they will turn into seed pods, but I'd rather pick and dry the fragrant blossoms to put in the tea.

I will set the garbage can out for pick up this morning. It is almost embarrassingly heavy with corncobs! If they wouldn't last into the next century undecayed, I just might be embarrassed to admit that they don't have a place in my compost pile.

The cucumbers are still going full on but nearly all melons have been harvested. The exception are a couple of Charentais volunteers. I left them and they have done okay. A couple of Cantaloupe are still out there and my earliest ripening, a Galia, managed one more fruit for the season which we enjoyed for dessert, yesterday .

Peppers are ripening at a steady pace and the Super Chilies have taken up their customary place in a shallow basket on the greenhouse bench, to dry.

Picked a bunch more peppers yesterday. Gonna dry what I can. I've already given away as many as I can to everyone who will take them. Embarrassed to say that I still haven't gotten up the courage to try the reapers (although I've shared many of them).



Pulled my green beans and picked anything that looked useable. We'd already done about 3 pretty good pickings.



And pulled about half of my mater plants out...kept all the decent looking ripening and green ones.
