While garage construction continues, we've been busy with fall work. The weather has been amazing with no frost yet. Jess planted garlic out front. I have a couple of other rows set aside in the back where we can put the rest of the cloves.
We've also been coping with the first rush of the tomatoes. After a tomato-salad mutiny, I ended up oven-drying two trays and then freezing them for winter use
Most of the past week has been focused on processing the apples. In addition to five jars of dried apple rings, I made a dozen jars of apple pie fixing and well as three pies (that I froze).
The rest have gone into multiple apple crisps, been eaten fresh, sauced (maybe 16 jars), and (with exhaustion nearing) been given away
Next up will be the big tomato rush over the next three weeks. I'm hopeful to make and freeze some tomato sauce as well as some fresh salsa.
