Drying Herbs

Summer savory drying.

Tomatillos

Next on the list for canning/ freezing: salsa!

Eggplants & Hungarian Hot Peppers

Purple Harvest: a basket of freshly harvested eggplant & Hungarian hot peppers. You can tell I've been eating pretty well lately :)

Morning Glories

A beautiful morning glory and nasturtium still resist the cold weather nights for a morning

bloom.

*edited to add: yes, of course it's a nasturtium...sorry, I was busy waxing eloquent about a clematis outside my workplace when I posted this to my mum and I must have typed it in by accident. Thanks for noticing :)

First Frost & Canning

This weekend's canning projects: tomatoes, peaches, and bread & butter pickles.

We've had our first frost and it's been getting rather cool at night so we've had to cover up the precious vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, summer squash) with old sheets. We're a little early for Halloween but they make fantastic ghosts under the full moon.

Home Grown Tomatoes

The juiciest batch ever - like eating candy!
