7. New Mexico results

We grew eggplant a couple of years ago, decided we didn't care for it. As far as ratatouille goes, we like the movie better than the dish.

Here in the mountains of SW New Mexico, lettuce can be difficult; starts slow, then bolts. In between, some sort of tiny sucker bugs make dots all over the leaves. We also had a late freeze - forecast 34, we prepared for 30, got 26. Even things that were covered froze. Fortunately I had started extra peppers and tomatoes.

So far, we've harvested peas, kohlrabi, cabbage, jalapenos, zucchini, and a few carrots. And the garlic we planted in December. Watermelons are going wild; I think they've tapped into the septic field.
