The purple leaves above could be the last of our basil and the tomato plants are mostly brown but they’re still producing fruit. The arugula and lettuces love the cooler weather so there is plenty for salads. Our neighbor needed a cup of cilantro last night for a dish he was making and we were able to provide that. The habanero peppers go a long ways. I chop them into tiny little pieces and my fingertips sizzle when I’m done. The green leaves are mache (pronounced mosh) lettuce and we love it. We planted a row in the early Spring. It went to seed months later and now we have a whole patch in full bloom. Our Padrón pepper plants have provided us with an appetizer each night for the last two months. I guess I’m giving thanks.
