Tomato Pulling
Was A Success. they ripened inside just fine
Tomatillo Salsa
Still going
We went away a couple of days which I thought was fine because “everything is done “
Not quite…
The remaining tomatoes are spotted, so they areare definitely done. The runner beans were not drying on the vine, so I pulled them and will dry and shell inside.
More salsa
Ground cover and harvest
I bought a few ground covers to try out on the slope- mostly thymes.
I also seeded a bunch of clover and fescue in the bare spots.
A chill…
Whelp, it’s getting down below 50 tonight, so I pulled all the good sized tomatoes and peppers. They’re going in ripening boxes in my office for the time being.
This was an awesome tomato year. I had more slicing tomatoes than ever, tons of sungold from my sungold tree, and a metric ton of novas. The beaver lodge got sad looking, and did best in a container, but I liked that it ripened earliest. (Maybe just one in a a big pot next year?)
The peppers did relatively well- but they stayed small and didn’t redden.
Grape Jelly
Turning the grapes into jelly! The recipe called for 5 cups of juice (one packet of pectin, 6 cups of sugar, and 7 8oz jars), this basket was roughly 6 cups.
Grapes and tomatoes and potatoes and hops
Harvested and cut back grapes (incorrectly) today. I also cut some tomato batches to hang since the weather is starting to turn. We pulled the remaining potatoes – the big orange pot was the best provider. (It was the widest)
Also, p harvested some hops today.
Canning g beans
That was one full drawer, 9 pint jars, 20 min processing. Yum. Green beans.
