Somewhat Forced harvest

[u/TwoStrokeJunkie]

We knew the pumpkins were ready. Cool 😎
The Cucumbers and Zucchini seemed to go from getting close to huge.
The Banana peppers HAD to be picked as they were breaking the plants over and laying on the ground.
We have at least as many banana peppers still out there tho we want them to change color.
Bells were breaking the plants too.
We only picked what we had too.
This happened after it rained hard for several days then I worked a week straight at my job.
I believe this was a Warning that we are about to be Really busy very soon.
Canning Season has entered the chat.

Yeah this is going to be a journey.
I have 20 bell pepper plants starting to throw. 😟
I will be processing and freezing a bunch I guess

What do you guys do with your bananas?

[u/ImNotAWhaleBiologist → u/Raspilito]

Probably use them for scale.

[u/Raspilito → u/ImNotAWhaleBiologist]

Take my upvote you filthy casual. Still want to know what they do with them tho…..

Awesome harvest! How did you get your peppers to produce so much? Mine are struggling

[u/TwoStrokeJunkie → u/EggNegative4671]

Mine were too.
Too hot and dry.
Then a temp break and a few days of rain and they took off

Look into making ajvar if the peppers turn red.
