A few tomatoes still coming in. Big Jim green chile, still a few to pick and roast. Jalapeño didn’t do great this year and a few mutant cucumbers. Realized I never got around to having a BLT this year. Wife asked me to cook the bacon and slice the tomato. She would handle the egg and building my half sandwich.
Gotta love bacon

My garden was punk this year. Only a handfull of cucumbers and my okra never grew more than inches. Last year the okra plants were over 5 feet. Peppers - habanero, jalapeno, serano, poblano - were at about 1/2 of last years yield. Weird summer.
 
We had a lengthy stretch of triple digit and upper 90’s with no humidity that pretty much knocked it down. Where I live lack of humidity and high heat will stunt it. We call ours a Salsa garden. Tomato peppers cucumbers garlic onion and cilantro. Nothing big.

Agreed. I had a very similar result here as well. Okra didn't do too much and the cukes turned bitter quickly. Cherry tomatoes yielded a decent harvest. The eggplant harvests were the one bright spot; better than average yields all summer.
 
That sandwich looks great, the bread looks interesting, what sort?

I put shade cloth over mine which helped I planted grape vines next to the boxes and ran wire across so that will provide some cover when it fills in
 
Looks delicious Adams!!
The 100+ heat did a job on my garden too. I build shades which helped some, but didn't get the usual harvest this year.
