Our fall garden is well underway now, and we're trying a new variety of corn. The bugs certainly seem to like it, sigh. But we might get a few ears to eat this month.
I'm picking radishes to have with dinner twice a week now, and we just had the first green beans, too.
My little chili pepper plant doesn't like the cold much, but it is still producing.
If I can get the current crop of peppers to ripen before the really cold temps arrive, then I'll dry them and hang them in the kitchen.
Our first planting of lettuce bolted due to the hotter weather, but we've got another six heads in now and we're hoping they'll give us salads for Thanksgiving. My scallions are the workhorses of the garden; they keep growing back no matter how many times I trim off pieces to use in my stir fry recipes. In between is my jalapeno pepper, which has given me some nice, spicy peppers for nachos.
Our cucumbers have flowered, but I'm not sure they'll produce before the cold temps arrive. We have spinach and carrots also growing in that bed, but they're developing slowly, too.
Our watermelon has also flowered, but it might be too late in the year for us to get more of them (we loved the ones we grew this summer; thanks again Maria.)

I don't recognize the peppers, but there are so many out there. I have two different types my mother sent me. She couldn't remember their names. One turned out to be tabasco pepper, and the other was a small round pepper that was very hot but had a pleasant aftertaste.
