Green crops

Winter feels like it is definitely on its way. Today we have clear skies and bright sunshine, along with a fresh crisp breeze. This morning I spent a few minutes in the garden seeing how my plants were settling in after the planting I did last weekend. Everything was looking good however I realised that I hadn't harvested the rest of my 'crops'. The air temperature dropped to the lowest it has been in quite sometime last night. I thought that it would be best to pick the final few crops left in the garden and make use of them before the weather gets too cold and kills them off. I'm pleased to show you a few more things that I managed to grow this year.

Two green peppers...

a handful of small green chillis...

and green tomatoes...

As you can see there is a bit of a green theme with my crops! Nothing ripened outside but I'm wondering whether the tomatoes may turn if I leave them for a few days in the kitchen. I have never grown peppers or chillis before so I'm pretty happy with what has grown. I will definitely grow them again next summer with the hope of better weather, more sunshine and warmer temperatures so that they ripen. I'm off to find a few recipes in our recipe book stash to see what would be the best way to use them up.
