Little Late for Harvest Monday

It's October and the colours in the garden are changing and the sunflower petals waning. 

I feel the same with my energy. 

The greenhouse is still producing tomatoes

Even though we have harvest many tomatoes, they have not been as abundant as in previous years.  D has said he will not grow many of these red beefy ones - whose name i have forgotten.

He also won't grow many of the red Zebra and green Zebra Tomatoes, maybe a couple of the pale yellow ones called Lotos.  But he will definitely be growing the yellow Galina Cherry tomatoes and Chocolate Cherry tomatoes.

Some cooking apples had fallen to the ground, I made this Upside Down Apple Cake.  The apples stuck to the bottom of the pan. 

The Upside Down Apple Cake tasted good though and would have benefitted from a squirt of  or dollop of cream.

Below is generous bunch of Parsley and a black Mexican chilli pepper given to us by our neighbour.  Again, I am sorry I cannot remember the name, but my neighbour told me its not one we would ever find at the supermarket. He's right, i have never seen anything like it for real before.   I have roasted it and hope to either add it to a Chilli Bean recipe or a Tomato Pasta recipe. 

I am sharing this blog post with Harvest Monday hosted by Dave from Happy Acres.
