The Garden that Wouldn't Stop!

Even with the changing seasons and the drop in temperatures, our little farm garden just keeps producing. Which of course means we keep harvesting and canning and freezing.




Although the days seem so busy right now we are very thankful for all the delicious food the garden is putting out.





The rains over the past few days have encouraged more growth and ripening.
As soon as the first frost hits, the grapes will be ready to pick, the walnuts will begin to drop, and the rest of the garden will be cleaned out. In the meanwhile, we will keep picking, preserving, and pickling!

The Strawberries are Ripening!

Mmmm, they are so sweet and juicy, too. Did you know you can throw a small handful of epsom salt into the strawberry patch and the plants will thank you for that extra little boost of growing power? They love the nutrients from the epsom salt. It helps set the blossoms, keeps the plants blooming more and the fruit tastes sweeter. Here is to the salt of the earth!
