Nice break in the weather

We had over 10 days of 80 degree weather, and one afternoon I shivered with the windows open. It was in the 60's for a moment, as a storm came through.

I have tomatoes, though most are still green, I have all kinds of fall root crops coming up, I had green beans but now I have baby bunnies and that's not a great match. The potatoes (from grocery store potatoes I had ignored for too long) look great. Chard, peppers, yellow squash all edible, but I'll let the peppers ripen before I pick them.

I made pickled peppers from farmer's market banana peppers with a simple recipe. 1:1:1 apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, and sugar (they were sweet--you could put in less sugar), plus celery seeds and black peppercorns.  They were yummy! I'll lower the sugar content and pickle anything extra I get.
