With some light flurries falling, I pulled the last of the carrots and beets this morning. Some of the carrots we'll eat fresh, some will get given away, and I will blanch and freeze for use over the winter.
I also got the last of the strawberries in before the frost. These were a delicious treat!
Last week I pulled the tomatoes. We have five cookie sheets stack with green tomatoes.
The ripe ones were beginning to get away from me, so I hauled out the tomato mill and made a gallon of puree. This then cooked down into just over a litre of pizza sauce, that I froze.
We also saw some long awaited progress on the garage. All that is left os some stone work and the east of the electrical work. Solar will wait until next year I guess. Along with a fence for the back yard.
The next week will see us deal with the carrots and tomatoes. And, at some point, I need to get the raspberries out of the freezer and make jam.
