My little outdoor plot is about ready for harvest. I'll be breaking out the big stereo stereoclave soon for canning the corn, and will probably end up pickling a lot of the peppers and cucumbers.

I also have pole beans and pumpkins getting established for the last few months before first frost 
Sorry about your garden. If you're growing anything psychoactive, feel free to start a grow log or just start a thread in Other Growables to show off your projects.

Is it in the pics you uploaded?
The previous owner of our place planted a lot of invasive species that I've been trying to get rid of. The wisteria was 20+ years old and required days of digging and chopping to get the main crown removed. The 5 or 6 Russian sage plants had starting cloning under the ground, so I had to hand-till the plot with the corn and sunflowers, and rake out as much of the rhizomes as I could find. This entire season has been spent controlling the new shoots of wisteria and Russian sage that pop up every couple of days.
I'd like to eventually convert all of the bare ground out here to either veggies or native flowers and pollinator-attracting plants. We already have several new native plants established, and a small water fountain for the wildlife, and our back yard is doing a lot better than it did last season when we bought the place.
I'll be putting up a bird house, mason bee house, and bat house next year.

Word. Arugula is definitely the "Cadillac" of leafy greens...so to speak.
Kale has its place, but it's just overrated, and oddly trendy.

It's shrimp, calamari, andouille, celery, bell peppers and onions. I hadn't added the roux at that point.
Cooked it all down in some beer and spicy garlic butter until everything was reduced and browned. Then combined with the roux and okra for bit and topped with some rice/scallions.
I use this method with seafood pasta and jambalaya since I like to have gumbo as a side. Cooking the roux and the meat/veggies separately means I can use them to make a couple different things at once.
That picture was from making it for a gumbo and a creole pasta. Took one half and added it to some fettuccine noodles that I stirred with fire-roasted tomatoes and a tiny bit of the roux. Then I took the other half and used it for the gumbo.

Gyro version. Before the sauce. Topped with tzatziki and goat cheese after the pictures.

That first one was chicken and lamb coated in yogurt and a chicken 65/curry blend. Then cooked in ghee.
The pasta in the chicken dish is a version of Turkish ravioli. Normally they would be stuffed with lamb/gyro but these were stuffed with mushrooms and goat cheese since I already had lamb.
After the pasta is boiled I sautee them in garlic butter and sumac. The gyro version has the same thing but with potato gnocchi instead of the ravioli.
I topped everything with currants in the chicken/lamb version. And the sauces on that one were tahini, a mint yogurt sauce, and harissa.
And the veggies in both are tossed with sumac, lemon, olive oil and vinegar. Garlic naan with the chicken version and pita for the gyro version.

I've had decent luck with this brand. Never bought from the website, though.
