Although we are waist deep in cucumbers, beans and herbs, the tomatoes and peppers are just entering the home stretch. I’m happy to report that Peppertown USA, a subdivision of the Shambaugh Victory Garden, is about to see it’s population hit 100 - the bell, cubanelle, palladin, jalapeno, cayenne, poblano and habanero peppers will have mature vegetables next weekend. Every single plant other than the habaneros had to be staked, as the weight was pulling them over. Victory is at hand!
