Well, we are expecting a Nor'Easter and it is the 25th of September! I went out to get the 'rest' of the tomatoes and peppers and found that my second planting of peas were just starting to put out. Then a few smallish onions surprised me, and romaine lettuce, some chard and I picked a few leaves from the rutabagas. I did hold off from harvesting at least one because they should really be hit with a good frost to sweeten them up. I pulled a few carrots for some stew over the weekend and found a bunch of red potatoes under the earth! In the foreground I took only 1 jar of each of my canning this year. I did not want to scare anyone from trying their hand at it! Left to right- Applesauce from our Early Mac tree, canned tomatoes with tomato sauce hiding behind. Corn relish, blackberry jam, seedless for the faint at heart one who lives here. Pear butter, apple butter, peach butter and spiced seckle pears in a simple syrup. I also have a ton of froze peach slices, canned peach halves in a simple syrup and more peach butter in the fridge that needs processing tonight along with tomato sauce that is on the stove, as well as the tomatoes on the tables which will just be skinned and canned. And there is more in the Garden!
A passion or obsession, you decide!
The beautiful hand towels are from a friend who just came back from Italy, one is Narciso (narcasis) and the other Iris.
