Holy sweet potatoes! Perhaps should have harvested these sooner or politely asked them to lay off the growth hormones 😳 🍠

Late tomato and pepper harvest. Still more on the vine. Hopefully the freeze stays away a couple more weeks. Time to make pasta sauce and salsa!

Fresh from the garden chimichurri! Basil, mint, and Peppi red pepper. ("Additional" ingredients from the market.)

Getting a late start planting tomatoes and peppers. 2 of 3 cabbage are coming along nicely. The dumb worms may have stunted the 3rd 👎

Tomatoes:
Roma
Speckled Roman
Orange Banana

Peppers:
Peppi Red
Habanero
Hungarian Hot Banana

The Napa cabbage really showed out this year. Thanks to Mother Nature for all the moisture this spring. I didn't have to supply any supplemental water! Up next the green cabbage and broccoli need to hurry up to make room for sweet potatoes!

Finally had a day with no rain and no other responsibilities to finish up the garden area hardscaping. The cabbage is coming along nicely despite the cabbage worms' strong attempt to eat it all

Added a 2nd raised bed and used the extra soil for the beginning of a path around the beds. How to figure out what's eating my cabbage so I can gently eradicate those little fu***rs

Trying out a new deodorant recipe for the applicators I recently purchased (https://kiima.co/en-us/products/kiima-refillable-deodorant-applicator). Tip: When someone says you can substitute zinc oxide, DO NOT DO IT. I repeat. DO NOT USE ZINC OXIDE in your deodorant recipe. This was a fail 😅🤣
