Something other than Brady :)

So we haven't posted much about anything except Brady for a little while, so I figured I would give an update on the garden.

This year we planted pretty much the same things we normally did:
1 - cherry tomato plant + 1 "volunteer" grape tomato from last year :)
1 - Wisconsin 55 tomato
3 - Early Girl tomato
2 - Better Boy tomato
2 - Pimento pepper plants
2 - Banana peppers
2 - Jalepeno pepers
3 - Cucumbers
Some lettuce, carrots, and radishes
All in all, it has been a pretty good year with the cooler weather and more rain, the plants have all looked really good. We have gotten more cucumbers than I think we ever have (probably 15 or so) and the tomato plants are loaded. About 2 weeks ago, we got the first ripe ones, and then this week we have been loaded.


Shawnna canned a couple of jars of tomato with this batch, but we should have having at least this much in another week.
And because, I think some people only come to this blog for Brady updates.... banana peppers make pretty good chew toys.
