Life can so super chaotic, and in the chaos is a desire to break free and
Happy to do a simple life. Once you feel a connection thru an online presence, it becomes addicting and you want to see more. I don't care about being popular. I just want to bring a smile or provide some well placed hope in someone's life. I've limited posting on my socials to everyone in a while. Hid folks who post multiple memes, or overpost every memory they have. I like to share to remember, so I can look back. If they are shared memories.ories, great!
It takes a while to sit, write, think, edit and post a blog where it's super fast to post an Instagram post with a few hastags.
I also appreciate a blog where there aren't 20 different ads that pop up. I'm not here to sell you anything or make money off clicks. This is my journal of sorts.
So harvest, it's here and we are wrapping up. Apples from a neighboring farm, peppers from the greenhouse, corn, squash, more beans, and of course seed saving is in progress.
The last of the garden tomatoes are ripening in the house. A few are left on the vine in the greenhouse, but when the moisture seeps in, they will go bad. Fresh Pico de Gallo anyone?
The latest, our own hot sauce and some pepper jelly.
A few weeks back I scattered some lettuce, arugula, spinach, dill, and chard seed, along with mustard. We have some frost warnings coming soon, so I am trying out the high tunnel and frost blanket idea. I don't know how it's going to go, but we always give new things a try.
Since we expanded the garden this year I've found that time is even more precious. Sitting out under the branches of our cherry tree on my lunch, watching the plants grow is now my favorite spring thru summer activity.
Harvest time finds me in the greenhouse, warm, thinking about fall and winter crops, and the upcoming season.
What do you want to plant?
What do you enjoy in the winter that you can preserve now?
Maybe I'll be nice and share my bounty, or not.
Next up, herb tinctures and extracts made into skincare products. Stay tuned!
