Lots of Variety

I have had a great growing season. The weather has been warm and dry for many weeks. It started showering this week, but that is the first significant rain since May. I have harvested a lot of produce. Much of it went to the food bank. 

I tried leeks for the first time this year, growing about 30 from store-bought starts. I still have about half of them in the ground. The longer they grow, the wider they become at the base. Until the end of the season, I am mostly down to tomatoes and melons. I harvested my first melons this week, but most of them still need about a week to ripen. The rain isn't helping.

A variety of stuff I harvested from my community garden plots in July,
clockwise from bottom, sweet onions, zucchini (green and yellow),
beets, carrots, and leeks.

A load of produce today for the food bank: yellow zucchini,
acorn squash, dumpling squash, yellow and red potatoes, 
and Early Girl tomatoes.

Some peppers I harvested this week from my backyard: Holy Mole,
Jimmy Nardello, Carmen, Black Hungarian and Italian roaster.
