Fall Colors from Summer Veggies


Our summer vegetable garden provided a cornucopia of color (minus the cornucopia) as you can see in the photograph above! We are so pleased to have so many delicious peppers and tomatoes to add to and spice up our meals. Unfortunately, our bountiful green and yellow bean plants got mowed down by a hungry white tailed deer that came like a bandit in the night and gnawed the plants down to nubs.  At least we were able to enjoy quite a few of the beans for dinner already. I was also able to blanche and freeze a couple of batches, too, which we will savor on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
 
It was so nice that my initial gardening efforts at our new home were so bountiful.  None of the wildlife seem to like tomatoes or peppers, so we will enjoy them until the first frost later this year.
