Okay, so I don’t actually have much to share as far as a regular photoessay this week. The garden is just bare dirt at this point! Over the next few months, Friday’s will probably become more of a collection of links and videos rather than being so picture heavy.

Okay, so this rainbow of cayenne peppers is from a couple weeks ago when we were cleaning the garden out. Pretty cool that we got such a range of colors though!

But…if you are missing out on having some beautiful fall garden pictures to look at, I would encourage you to visit High Farming. Jay Sleichter and his family raise vegetables up in Clay Center, and he just posted pictures of his gorgeous lettuces and other winter greens. Check it out!

Tater-Mater is an intriguing blog by a tomato and potato breeder. Check out his blue/purple tomatoes!

I don’t know why I’m torturing you all with tomatoes, now that tomato season (such as it was), is essentially over.

This Garden is Illegal is a blog from the Cleveland area that I follow in large part because of the Tomato Tastings. Some of the tomatoes Hanna tried this year include:

• Southern Night
• Red Siberian
• Creme Brulee

She does a great job testing the productivity, flavor, and overall quality of the different tomatoes. Of course, she’s in Ohio, and speaking from experience, tomatoes that grow really well there do not do so well here. But it’s still fun to dream!

Finally, this is not related to gardening, but is pretty cool none the less. In the Philippines, they are making cheap lights out of old water bottles!
