August dog days

Even though we are in the midst of the dog days of August, we are still somewhat active in the backyard garden.
The tomatoes are finished producing except for a few plants that are hanging on despite the succession of 90+ degree days. It's that time of the summer where we have plenty of bed space to plant. It's tempting to get started again but we know it's best to wait a month or so before we begin the fall planting season when the weather cools a bit.
We did put up another 7 jars of pepper jelly though. Peppers should produce until the first frost and in the past they thrive in cooler weather like the 70's and low 80's.
