It's Fall

How do I know? Well, several reasons: the cool, crisp mornings and evenings, the leaves are falling, the corn is being harvested. But, most importantly, this:



What you see is stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato soup, apple sauce, pickles (beet, relish, and bread & butter), rhubarb sauce, peaches, dried onions, and dried apples (Jonathan and Gala). I think that covers it...

I thought about taking a picture of the two freezers stuffed with vegetables and fruit, but they are chest freezers. That wouldn't show up the variety very well, would it? We also have some acorn squash (Does anybody know how to cook those in the microwave?) sitting about 10 feet from there and some hickory nuts, too. The squirrels keep beating me to the nuts :(

We still have a peck of apples to dry and peppers to freeze, but otherwise we are pretty much ready for winter. If my hoop house works like I plan, we will have fresh greens most of the winter, too. We'll see...
