So it's October and I haven't blogged since July. August and September have just blown by.
Up on "the hill" where we live, we had our first frost on September 19th. We've had a few more since then.
I started the garden clean-out. I still have brassicas left. We may actually get some brussel sprouts soon. Pumpkins and raspberries were my best crops. Winter squash was also good, but the voles ate my best looking squash. I fed the remains to the chickens, who had a field day.
I was really lazy getting things put up. I did not process any tomatoes. I froze a few beans and about 3 packages of broccoli.
Until I am at home full-time I don't think I can do a lot of food preservation.
Maybe next fall.
Oh yeah, I bought 50 pounds of potatoes over the weekend (at the Carrot Barn).
