I guess the growing conditions have a lot to do with it too, which usually can't be controlled.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-70149911746362878342016-10-01T07:17:06.042-04:002016-10-01T07:17:06.042-04:00Whoa, it is definitely getting chilly in your neck...Whoa, it is definitely getting chilly in your neck of the woods, looks like the end of the season though is getting close. Your peppers are looking great but it's too bad about your onions and garlic. I've seen that problem with store bought garlic before but it was in dry desert regions. The fermented cloves sounds very interesting.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-34172547934654024562016-09-26T19:46:44.216-04:002016-09-26T19:46:44.216-04:00That's crazy that your weather is already gett...That's crazy that your weather is already getting so cold, here we have the first 10 day forecast that isn't over 90 degrees. What a shame about the mold on your onions. I have a hard time storing onions, garlic, potatoes and pretty much anything that needs cool and dry storage.

It's probably Black Mold (Aspergillus niger) and is most common when onions are grown in warm dry conditions. There's no treatments for it but storage between 55ºF and 33ºF helps to suppress development. I wonder if your hot dry summer has something to do with your garlic ailments also.<br /><br />And I don't find the cherry tomatoes to be boring either. In December that photo will be something to drool over.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-36949228589899262252016-09-26T18:30:55.036-04:002016-09-26T18:30:55.036-04:00Tomatoes are never boring!

Not in season anyway ...<br /><br />I chose not to get Jimmy Nardello seeds as I assumed I'd be able to buy a plant or two from my "regular", but she had none this year. Definitely buying seeds, as I'm envious every time I see yours.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-73606250105209023152016-09-26T14:45:57.557-04:002016-09-26T14:45:57.557-04:00Hmmm, I'm worried now.

BTW, my fridge-stored tomatoes tasted just as good as the ones that didn't go in the fridge.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-75965185340812933472016-09-26T13:15:47.489-04:002016-09-26T13:15:47.489-04:00I planted way too many cherry tomatoes this year.....I planted way too many cherry tomatoes this year...again! But the plants have slowed down a lot in the past couple of weeks, so I'm no longer getting inundated. That's too bad about the onion - good thing you caught those before they infected your good ones. And that's so strange about the garlic - that must be a record for how quickly any variety has started going bad.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-16650848300265648052016-09-26T08:09:51.953-04:002016-09-26T08:09:51.953-04:00That basket of cherry tomatoes is NOT boring!
