Fall Garden

We are running a little behind on starting a fall garden, but we live in Texas, so I guess we have a little extra time then those further north. Our first frost doesn't hit until December usually.

There aren't as many fun options for fall gardens, but hey, better then nothing. We are going to try carrots again, they didn't do so well in the summer. Also, Lettuce and maybe some onions. It will be our first fall garden, so we'll just have to see how it goes!

I've been doing a little bit of research...here are some sites I've been searching around on.

No more cucumbers

Last night I walked outside to enjoy the rain and noticed that my cucumbers were looking pretty sad. Probably, just that time of the season when they stop producing. We haven't had a cucumber in about a week, we were having about 5-6 a week before. So, I got out the garden gloves and trying to pull the dead/dieing stuff off the trellises and leave the pretty stuff. I ended up pulling all of them down. It was too hard to untangle them from each other.

The jalapenos and bell peppers are still doing great!! We are getting about 10-15 jalapenos a week and 3-4 bell peppers every 2 weeks or so.

Last night Aiden and Robert were looking at the garden and Robert pointed out the different peppers to Aiden. Robert said, "That's a Bell Pepper" and Aiden said, "That's a Dr Pepper." LOL too cute. Then Robert would say, "That's a jalapeno" and Aiden would say, "Chile". He definitely has a mind of his own. :)

We also still have beautiful bean stalks with no beans. Who knows.
