Fall Harvest




Despite our unusually cold and wet summer our garden grew, as did our grapes. Unfortunately the Italian plum and crab apple trees did not produce this year.
We managed to can some cucumbers to make dill pickles (Dave is counting down the days until he can open up a jar) and I managed to make some tomato sauce to freeze. We still have carrots sweetening in the garden soil and last night Dave and I made some grape jelly with plans to make juice with the remaining grapes (if we can muster up the energy sometime this week).

Dave was impressed with the amount of work required to make 8 little jars of jelly.
