It’s Thanksgiving day, the days are considerably shorter than they were a month ago, leaves are falling off some of the plants, but the jalapeno plants are still going strong.
A couple weeks ago I harvested almost 2kg of jalapenos, and there are still lots more left on the plants. I’ll wait a few more weeks to harvest those. Flowers keep popping up, and I’m finding new jalapenos growing just about every day.
It’s been a good year for jalapenos.
The fig plants have become quite tall, and are still continuing to fruit even though a lot of the leaves have fallen off. I’ve observed that if I lop off a branch near where a leaf had grown, more leaves start sprouting from that leaf bud. Seems like this will be helpful for managing the height of the fig trees.
The last remaining butternut squash plant keeps producing squashes. Most of them ended up failing, but there’s one small one that’s hung on and may be ready to pick in a month or two if the cold doesn’t get it first.
Weather is supposed to be turning cold for the next few days, with lows just below 0°C and freeze watches.
