I like them because the seeds never get big even if you leave them on a bit too long (they don't have male flowers either so are never pollinated if you don't plant another variety). They also don't need the bees early in the season, which is sometimes a problem here. The flaw of course is that you can't save seed from them. <br /><br />Amanda, lol that is OK. I thought about telling people to post either Monday or Tuesday. I expected that the holiday might prevent some from posting.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-91949902577785299952009-09-09T06:09:03.526-04:002009-09-09T06:09:03.526-04:00Oh dear, two days late this time!
I was going to ...Oh dear, two days late this time!<br /><br />I was going to ask how you use your cayennes as I've got a bumper crop too - but I see that you don't use them all.

Mostly they are for pickling. My freezer is not bulging this year, but it is doing pretty well. My neighbor has gotten the chance to sample the wares too.<br /><br />Toni, I think that is why I grow cayennes - so I can look at the ristra as they dry. I don't use nearly as much as I grow. Congrats on your tomato sauce.<br /><br />BB, well the fall garden for the most part doesn't follow the summer garden. The seasons are too short. In my garden the fall garden follows the spring garden. I harvest things like Chinese cabbage and broccoli at the end of June. The fall garden gets planted in July. So the ground gets about a two week break. The spinach and mache are following summer crops. They followed the onions and the eggplant. Typical fall plants like Komatsuna, tatsoi, and lettuce are just succession cropped all year long. My fall crops this year are broccoli, Chinese cabbage and kale. I tried to plant some more carrots after my peas, but they didn't germinate well for me. I might get a couple but not many. It was too late to try again so I didn't.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, lol you are always canning something. <br /><br />Sally, only my lettuce in the shade did well. I did plant a bit of lettuce at the end of August that seems to be doing quite well in the sun, but the earlier August seedlings in the sun are stringy too.<br /><br />kitsapFG, this is the first year I'm growing Costata Romenesca. It is a weird zucchini because it vines more than most. Right now all my zucchini have powdery mildew, but I'm going to see if they can produce a bit more anyway. I almost have enough for all the zucchini bread and winter soups, but not quite.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-19344175427308600692009-09-07T23:48:40.758-04:002009-09-07T23:48:40.758-04:00I was going to inquire about what variety the zucc...I was going to inquire about what variety the zucchini is - but that has already been answered! It looks interesting and I need to find a replacement for my green zucchini - (Sungreen)- which has quit producing on me early in the summer two years in a row. I love the straight green fruit but really do not like the work stoppage they seem to impose early on!kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-4744076577338825382009-09-07T23:17:33.095-04:002009-09-07T23:17:33.095-04:00Very impressive yield as usual.

I thought only us Californians could get away with that. My fall veggies are just sprouted seedlings right now; nothing's in the ground but a couple rows of peas.BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393951106917282292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-33845738697661970162009-09-07T18:23:52.370-04:002009-09-07T18:23:52.370-04:00What a wonderful harvest Daphne!
