Fall's a Coming
It's hot and humid out today, but fall is approaching quickly. Although I look forward to cooler weather and fall colors, it feels like it's coming way too fast! Zach commented last night that I have a lot of food out in the fields. It's true! After a tough year of super wet then crazy dry, most crops pulled through and are aplenty. We've got a thousands of pounds of food to harvest in the next few weeks...and we are psyched!
I always look forward to pepper harvest. The plants look like Christmas trees, decorated brightly. This week, you will be happy to also find beautiful broccoli and luscious ears of corn!
This year we have been making lots of fruit juice. Since we are so busy, we find this is the most efficient way for us to process perishable fruit. And it's a luxury item to have waiting for us on the cupboard for winter! Here we have plum, pear and cherry.
We hope the seasonal shift finds you looking forward to a shift in veggies too. The cukes have quit, but the winter squash is just around the corner, along with spinach and cauliflower : )
