More from the Garden

This was one of my garden harvests. I was too impatient and unsure of weather conditions to leave my peppers on the bush until they turned orange. They kind of got a late start this year but now the slugs are out. The powdery mildew destroyed my pumpkin patch and 5 of my pumpkins did not survive leaving me disappointed with only 2, oh well.

I was skimming through a book of my moms about growing food on a 1/4 of an acre. It recommended using raised beds for gardening. I am considering building them for next year because it will look nicer, keep down weeds, and could possibly be a selling feature of our house. We have all winter think about it.
