Welcome back. I hope you are enjoying reading my blog as the summer draws to a close.

| Sunflowers in Full Bloom |
Although our family is on vacation this week in Raquette Lake, NY, I decided to write a short entry.
The tomato harvest is well underway as the month of August comes to an end. On the morning
we left for the Adirondacks, I picked some nice tomatoes and also some hot peppers. We have been enjoying them while at camp.

| Hungarian Wax and Jalapeno Peppers |
As you may recall, I planted a mixture of hot peppers that included these two varieties. They were started from seed as described in my post on March 30, 2014 (http://dansgardening.blogspot.com/2014/03/planting-peppersspringtime-birds.html).
The larger heirloom tomatoes are now starting to ripen, as I picked a few from the heirloom mixture that I planted (also from seed). Refer to my post on March 25, 2014 (http://dansgardening.blogspot.com/2014/03/its-tomato-starting-time.html).

| Cherokee Purple and Dixie Golden Giant (large tomatoes). Also Corborino and Artisan. |
I'm sure that by the time we get home in a few days, there will be an abundance of all of the varieties. In the coming weeks I will also be harvesting the rest of the potatoes (I only have dug a few hills), and also some Brussels sprouts and sweet Spanish onions.
Finally, a few photos of some wild turkeys that have been wondering frequently around the property of the cabin we are currently renting in Raquette Lake, NY.
Until Next time
