October harvest

My first substantial harvest! A bunch of sweet peppers and arugula.


Found this corn on the cob disintegrating in the compost pile. Amazing to see how the bugs break it down so quickly.

October update

Transferred five of the tomato plants into paint buckets. Four cherry tomatoes - two Sun Golds and two Black Cherries, and one Bella Rosa. I drilled holes in the bottom, but they're so small I'm hoping the drainage will be good enough.

Basil plants that were started from a by cutting four inch stems from a different basil plant.

Bean plants that are growing rapidly despite an infestation of leaf miners. Have several different varieties but didn't label them so will find out once they're picked.

Have no idea when they're ready to be picked... They are quite fragile and several stems bent from windy days.

Finished compost before sifting. Has a bunch of grubs and interesting looking worms in it.
