I’ve
been harvesting and preserving for the long winter ahead.
From left to right: pumpkin, grape juice, strawberry juice, beets, pickles, salsa, potatoes, jams, jellies and marmalades.
I’m so happy to see the grapes, which went a little crazy
this summer, off the vines and on the pantry shelves.

The pumpkin vine looked sick and stressed, so we harvested
the eight little pumpkins.
Next on the to do list is to begin harvesting tomatillos from my one huge, sprawling plant. This is the first year I've grown them and know only what my neighbor has said and what I've learned in the internet. I found several recipes for preserves that I intend to try. I'm going to make green salsa to can that will heat up those cold winter snacks. More on tomatillo adventures later...
