    @Leezestarr313 nice little haul. What are those ugly tomatoes called?  I would like to try those next year!

    My maters and cuckes stunk this year.  The weather was so off that i had massive blight and battling that is a lot sometimes.

    What do you mean, "ugly"? If you mean the ones with the ridges, they are called Gezahnte. They are a paste tomato. The big one that I sliced is my favorite this year, an Ananas Noire. The little orange and red ones are Sunrise bumblebee and very tasty, and so are the longish green ones, I forgot what they are called.

    This season i grew 'hot lemon peppers'. First one finally turned yellow and had a tiny sliver. Fantastic heat bursting with fruity flavors. Like nothing I've ever eaten. Happy I tried them. The rest are still green. Ate a few green ones, but you really need to let them turn yellow for that killer flavor.

    Chopped up the one and put in a marinade for chicken.

    It will taste better than anything you can buy in a store too cause you let it ripen.

    Howd it taste w the chicken?

    Gently noticeable. Not frighteningly hot which is good.

    Yes! I'd hit it a little harder with the chilies. I did lime juice, oil, salt, cracked pepper, garlic, a little balsamic. Marinated it overnight. Loaded it up with herbs and some butter before roasting. Only ate a wing so far.

    Hot lemon pepper. Threw that bad boy on a quesodillia & my head is spinning. Fire+flavor. See how my insides handle it. A solid ancho poblano too.

    more turnips + beets. There is a critter starting to enjoy my beets so I decided to harvest a lot. Left a lot of turnips but still harvested lots too. Trying to get them before they all get snacked on by the vole or whatever.
    Going to pickle up these with cinnamon and ginger. Good stuff.
