Looking forward to next year- Valencias, Whoppers, Giant Belgiums and Yellow Pear...not sure what else we will plant but it will probably be a few more heirlooms.
Favorite quick and easy recipe- Fried Okra (flour/cornmeal/milk) dipped in Chipotle Mayo. Wow, that was good.
And yes, we are still harvesting as long as the plants keep producing.
