hmmmm, well, quite a large number of my various perennials. The absolute
best was actually the fig tree if rated for performance. It set fruits
earlier than it ever had. In March. Then when it started ripeniing come
the
end of August, it started cranking out figs unlike any other time in the
last three years it's produced fruit. And it's still cranking out figs.
Great huge ones that are sweeter than I would have thought possible for
early October. I have three pounds of them in the fridge and I need a
receipe because I hate to throw them away when they turn.

Figs, huh? Want to swap some for 'maters, peppers, or okra - just kidding!
(My tomatoes did get a purple ribbon for best vegetables at our county fair.
G) The garden wasn't quite as good as usual, but I still had more
tomatoes, peppers, and okra than I wanted and an adequate supply of winter
squash and cucumbers. I shared a lot of them with friends and our neighbors
down the street who have two small children. I planted a fall crop of green
beans in early August (need to plant earlier) and they are doing well now,
but frost a given in the next couple of weeks. I also have a fall crop of
radishes that are just starting, but the frost won't bother them.
