GroVid22 Peppers, Raspberries, and More
Above: A couple of San Marzano Tomato, a few Blueberry Cherry Tomato, Coral Bell Pepper, some White Cherry Tomato, Bell Pepper, and Sweet Banana Pepper
Growth is crazy, with Raspberry canes everywhere, and intertwined. Painfully interesting. BUT, I can't prune jest yet, as there is tons of fruit on the bush.
Not sure if you know about Raspberry bushes, but the canes are either Primocanes, first year, or Floricanes, second year. After that, the cane dies off. For me, it's fairly easy to spot the dead, they are lifeless, pale wood coloured. Primocanes usually are green stalks, with zero fruit. Floricanes have a darker bark/wood look.
I've mentioned before, but bear with me for repeating! I typically bring in a bowl of berries, each morning, for daily eats, plus I take in some each day that are past their prime, or blemishes, to, too over ripe. these go into the freezer, for eventual Jam making, end of October.

I will keep replanting this type of lettuce throughout the fall outside and eventually move the plantings to my indoor grow lights, for fresh grown greens and herbs throughout the dead of winter.

BEER.That's a small, but nice harvest. That's the time of the season.
I just picked the last raspberries from our raspberry bush this weekend. No more fresh raspberries in the yoghurt in the morning 😒
I think I'll get a few more weeks of raspberries... perhaps Mid October? We'll see. LOTS on the canes, that will ripen.
Brussels sprouts?!! My favourite. Wish they would grow here
I planted both Red Brussels, and those above, but the Red never really took off. I think the heat killed them, fairly early!
My favorite is to halve them, put them on a sheet pan and sear them with Olive Oil and Sea salt. I then make a Balsamic glaze for them.

Ooooh! Yum
Beautiful harvests. I am especially envious of the raspberries. This is our first season in Vermont. So I don't have experience but am expecting first frost soon. Probably around first of October. We don't have much left in garden but brussel sprouts. Well We have a few squash and pumpkin still on the vine and the tomatoes look like they will keep producing until a frost shuts them down. But mostly just waiting on the brussel sprouts at this point.
I planted this berry bush about 10 years ago. it was in a 3 gallon pot when I bought it. It's bigger than a VW bug, now! Took a few years, maybe 3 or 4, before first fruit... I'd say, get it into the ground as soon as you can in spring, and before you know it, you'll have some nice fruit.

Check out the last post from @hivebuzz:
We had a threat of frost one night last week. Generally can usually get to the end of September before frost hits. Usually by the real Thanksgiving in October most try to get their gardens harvested .. well except things like winter squash and pumpkins (which are part of the squash family).
Usually our first frost date is LATE October, but it can come earlier... need to be prepared. Defintwely prepared by REAL thanksgiving in November.
Funny you mention LATE October as that is what Thanksgiving in November is... LATE.
The earliest recorded Canadian Thanksgiving actually dates back to 1578 — well before the Pilgrims and the Native Americans feasted at Plymouth in 1621.
You guys just do more marketing.
our Natives have been doing Thanksgiving Festivals in November for well over 15,000 years.
hate to break it to you ... but so have most Indigenous nations. So we have to battle it out with the colonizers.
Just saying, our Indigenous taught your Indigenous how to give Thanks.
hmm let's see... it has long been known the Indigenous of North America came across the Bering Strait when there was a land bridge there .. and into .. let's see .. CANADA . who taught who?
Bering Sea ---> Aleutian Islands ---> Alaska (USA! USA! USA!)
YES .. Alaska.. YUKON / British Columbia .. CANADA ... then you can get to your part of USA ... nice try
Nope: Alaska, then a cruise line to Seattle.
Well known.
yes in the 20th century... however NOT back then... thousands of years ago.. Canada first .. live with it dawling.
