“Riggs Park. These are parsnips, just in time for Christmas dinner!”

Awesome.

“We live in Hill East. These troopers survived a scooter ride across town and falling more than 8 feet into a neighbor’s yard on a windy day, and are still producing Thai hot peppers and habaneros in December!”

From Hill East. “Green tomatoes – excellent topping for pork when stewed with something sweet; and New Zealand Kamo Kamo squash.”

A huge tomato haul from 16th Street Heights!

The official seasonal haul ended after Labor Day but this is pretty cool. A reader sends from Maryland:

“I wanted to share my husband’s garden haul of peppers. 9.49 lbs and 197 total!!”

“Wanted to share my garden haul – the last of the tomatoes from the Buell Farm. The midgets actually won the blue ribbon in the Tastiest Tomato category at the DC State Fair the other weekend!”

Ed. Note: Entries are now closed – thanks to all for sending photos!

“Grapes my boyfriend and I gathered in his backyard. BROOKLAND baby!”

“This is what our daily haul is looking like. Our one sungold plant has literally grown over the large heirloom tomato types, so we are only getting only one type of tomato these days. But it could be worse!”

“Tuesday haul – tomatillos, habaneros, bell peppers, marconi peppers, ichiban eggplant, banana peppers, and a lone tomato buried in there somewhere. Grown in pots on my Dupont roof.”
