I harvested some bell peppers and some Santaka peppers today. I followed the advice I found on line (
https://food.unl.edu/freezing-sweet-bell-and-hot-peppers) regarding how to freeze them. Yesterday I harvested some orka, blanched them and put them in the freezer as well. Today I harvested another four okra. I will probably harvest and freeze the okra until I leave in a few weeks.

On Friday, August 17, John (landscaping) came by and said he thought I was over watering the backyard and that was why the beech died and the west boxwoods were not doing well. He suggested I turn off the irrigation system for a few days. I turned it off that day. Over the next couple of weeks, we got so much rain that I never turned the system back on. Today I noticed the raised beds were looking a bit dry. I turned the system back on, reducing the shrub watering from four times per week to two times per week.
