First freeze, last harvest.
We’ve had hard freezes here for two nights in a row now, so the tender things had to come out of the garden. We pulled out several gallons of peppers and tomatoes (red and green), four or five hot pepper plants for drying (we just hung the whole plants upside down in the room with the woodstove), many many dry beans (ten or eleven different kinds — I’ll post on them separately), and a few stray butternut squashes. Now I feel like it’s really fall.

Look at those peppers. Are those thai chilis?

I don’t know the variety of the hot peppers — a friend gave me the seedlings, and she got them from her neighbor. I think he called them “little hots.” They look kind of like a small cayenne, to me.
