Cabbage Harvest #2


Tomato Canning has Begun

Tomato canning began on September 5th, along with a big harvest of corn.  Summer squash is still producing and okra is coming on.  I froze 4 pints last weekend.  Tonight we are having spaghetti squash with David's spaghetti sauce and a lovely salad from the fall garden (see below).

Fall Greens

Turnips, bok choy and lettuce


Lovely salad from thinning the lettuce with radish, cucumber and tomato

Hot Chiles

Poblano chiles are here and they are HOT!
There may be a correlation between drought and heat...last drought we had really hot peppers.

Screech Owls in the yard


Two immature screech owl appear every evening after sundown in the mimosa tree in the front yard.  We believe their nest is in the hollow locust tree nearby.

Longday Onions

The long day onions are hanging in there.  Grandma said "Don't let it rain on your onions in July", but I think she was talking about intermediates.  I am going to leave the long day onions in to see if they grow more.  They got 1/2 inch of rain today so we'll see if they grow!  

For some reason the photos would not rotate today?
