I've put up 4 quart jars of jalapenos, cut into rings, and pickled with vinegar. Wore later gloves the entire time. Hot bastards! Plants still full of peppers. Squash have finally all but petered out. Planted 6 more hills of them this weekend. Tomatoes are still producing well, but slowed down a little. Cucumbers slowed a bit, too. Planted a few more hills of those this weekend. On a side note, I'm now on my 3rd batch of bluebirds this year. I've got two houses and only one house has ever been productive and it stays busy from early spring until. The side lifts up on it to clean and inspect. Here's a shot I took while mom and dad were foraging. i have no idea where they find all the insects I see them hauling back and forth. It's a miracle of nature.
