My Bush Early Girl just makes tomatoes like crazy.

Picked 17 last 3 days. Have picked about 50 so far.

And I count 23 more growing. She’s already produced or is producing 73 tomatoes from one plant. If the weather holds, we can grow to mid-November usually.

Cherry tomatoes looking OK too - she had 33 going on there the other day with a bunch of spots looking ready to pop.

Most of my peppers are small but getting some off now plus a few good-sized ones. Few colors - almost all green.

First Serrano or Jalapeno - could be a Hatch - right in there size-wise. I’ve got some frozen and couldn’t resist buying cheap hatch (3 for 25 cents). We only get them for 1 or 2 weeks sometimes in the grocery stores here.

Everything but my carrots and peas did WELL. Husbands squash crowded out my carrots. Woodchuck ate my peas.

Tomatoes look best in five years! YEA! Crossing my fingers that we have no hail or late blight. Six heirloom varietals. Only San Maranzio (?) redding up now. Every thing else still green. We have about 3 weeks left for them to finish up.

Tons of squash, great onions and garlic, cucumbers are FAB, horseradish are good, lettuce DONE, peppers still going, radish DONE, beets maybe, greenbeans coming on now, potatoes were decent and yummmy, peaches - got enough to do a decent batch of GREAT yam, but tree won’t recover, herbs good, raspberries look fab for fall - should do great in spite of Japanese beetles, carrot a dissapoinment as my husbands squash grew into their box and took the sun, lots a random flowers and a random scraggly cabbage. Some few other things.
