    Nice haul! I was just out watering the garden and noticed I have quite a few fresno, jalapeno, serrano and padron to pick. I also have costuto genovese tomatoes ripening! (Socal zone 9b/10)

    Nice haul worlad.

    Yeah. I'm still going pretty good on most my annuums. Superhots were a big disappointment this year -- I'm blaming my late start and the spring santa anas.

    Now, I'm pissed that I didn't start any tomatoes in early summer. I got plenty of salsa made from my early toms, but no FRESH ones for salads lately.

    You have a much longer season than us in the Bay Area, normally I'm completely done a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, also picked these Padrones for dinner tonight

    Get those plants ready for the coming storm. It's going to be a big one I hear.

    Figure this could be it for them, up to 7" of rain with 70mph winds, probably blow the peppers into the next county, its been fun while it lasted

    Looking good!

    Yep, the jet stream has split thanks to El Nino and is/will be bringing much needed rain to Cal. and Texas over the next few months. The latest forecast here says we may not even get any more polar fronts for the rest of the year!

    This is by far the warmest i can remember things being here in the western Rockies. My season ended late and now after over a week of unusually warm temps things are sprouting in my beds.

    Hopefully the grasshoppers will hatch then die when it freezes again. Could help mitigate the expected increase in hoppers next season.

    It's definitely going to kill off these early sprouting weeds.

    The rain is coming down nice and steady up here in the foothills above Sacramento.....

    I still have plants in ground, most of which are loaded...the Thai, Hungarian, and Hatch.

    Major rain coming down. No flooding in my area, but there is in alot of other places.

    No plants in the ground. All are in buckets.

    Only a few plants have fruit, the Birds Eye, Goatweed and the Pequin. Those guys never seem to stop producing and their not even in the greenhouse.
