Harvested a lot of chestnuts. So many that I left most for the deer.

Harvested a deer but not one of the ones eating my chestnuts. Looking
forward to fried back straps and chestnut soup.

do you use the leftovers as garden fertilizer?


Tomatoes scant due to very wet summer. Very good for the other farmers
though.

ours ripened slowly, but came in well at the end.
a few plants are still out there finishing up the
last of their crop, some new flowers.


Wonder if the rain hurt the stinkbug invasion. They seem scant this
year. I had quit growing peppers because of them. Maybe next year.

not seen that sort of damage here as of yet. this
summer we did have some red peppers ferment on the
plant, but the cause was likely some cooler and wetter
spells. our harvest was enough but not the usual
three or four rounds, but more like two to three
rounds.
