What's Growing on Hen and Drake Farm - Week 32

I came home from camping this week to lots of things ready for harvest. When you work in your garden every day you don't see the subtle changes so much, but, return from a vacation and new growth is instantly noticeable 

Here is the garden this week 

There were several pounds of tomatillos so I canned a batch of salsa

The tomatoes and summer squash went into a yummy veggie casserole 

The shallots were done curing and have now been strung up. About half of the largest ones will be planted in the spring

Finally getting some eggplant

Which went into eggplant, tomato and fresh mozzarella fans

This is what happens when you leave chickens in the garden unsupervised.

 No biggie though, just an excuse to make fried green tomatoes

This volunteer tomato is small, but fruiting. I think it is a Sweet Aperitif, since that is what I planted there last year

 Ambar squash

 Carolina Reaper. Check out that stinger! This one is gonna hurt!

 My ginger plant has sprouted!

And this giant one that I'm not sure of the variety, probably Black Russian
