Lots of Green Tomatoes and No Rain


I harvested more leeks, hot peppers, and carrots but I'm waiting for at least a dozen tomatoes to ripen yet. We've had warm weather and lots of sunshine but no rain since Labor Day. So I've been trying to water consistently to avoid cracks in the developing tomatoes. The garden looks surprisingly lush regardless of the weather. 


There are still 15 or so leeks, maybe a dozen carrots, sporadic hot peppers, kale here and there, and basil along with lots and lots of green tomatoes. 


Hurry up and ripen!


Lots of fruit on the vines. 


A praying mantis stands guard at the end of the season. I wish it would eat whatever is munching on the hot pepper leaves.
