The October (!) Garden and Growing Little Farmers

 Turns out there are still a few items out in the garden.  Which is excellent.  Tomatillos became massive batches of salsa verde this weekend.  Oddly enough, I totally forgot to put in all the cilantro I bought, but we didn't notice until I found the cilantro in the fridge later.  Turns out it's delicious even without the cilantro!  Paul declared the salsa verde his favorite thing from the garden, even though he totally hates the plants and thinks they're a pain.

 I also picked the last of my second beet crop.  These are those cool striped beets on the insides.  We'll enjoy them roasted one night this week.  And then I'll cry over not having garden fresh beets until next June.

 And finally, we still have a bunch of peppers growing - serrano, bell, and New Mexico Big Jim.  The peppers were all a bit late this year, and I'm hoping our first frost will hold off a bit longer because there are quite a few more bells out there that I'd love to grab if they get big enough.

Oh yes, and not to forget the little farmers we're growing too.  This picture was taken just seconds before a shoving match that resulted in both boys on the floor.  You'd never really know they're twins, would you?
