Goodbye, Veggie Garden

Here is the last veggie harvest for 2013:

Beautiful shiny eggplants and juicy green bell peppers out of our raised veggie beds.

Yesterday morning I spent a few hours in the garden cleaning out dead or dying vegetable plants. While I was busy, I gathered the last crops. I left the pepper and eggplant plants and okra plants, but once the night temps take a dive, that will be the end of them.

This morning was too foggy, damp, and warm to work outside, so I roasted off the harvest picured above and stashed them into the freezer for another time.  But tonight we are eating eggplant parmesan and noodles. Yum!
