One of those silly moments. I planted three pepper bushes. The regular and "super" cayennes I can dry. The Hungarian hots are going to wind up in the trash (we've eaten as much as we can handle), ditto the jalapenas. I've eaten tomatoes and cukes until they came out of my ears, and am an herb lover and have pureed lots of herbs with garlic and olive oil for the freezer. But, being the kind of person I was raised to be, I feel bad because I'm "throwing away" food. And this is from a very small garden! I try to keep it small because there are only two of us. Next year, I swear to God, I am only planting one pepper (probably super cayenne, seems to be best for drying), one cucumber, and two tomatoes (this would give me enough to gift my friends). What did you over-plant this year, and what would you do differently? Snow is predicted for Wednesday, so we're harvesting everything we can.
