Today's harvest: 6 heads of cabbage...something is sneaking under the gate and taking bites out of them-though one was still perfect! Wonder what they will head for next!? More yellow squash - the zucchini died out after 2 or three - not even a blossom - odd for zucchini! Dug up the row of carrots planted in the cold frame in early spring and four beets that were being crowded. We have enough tomatoes and peppers now to make our first batch of fresh salsa. Even cilantro timed right this year (a first!) Also a first...tomatillo's for Susana's mom from Mexico. It will be fun to deliver them to her...and then to eat what she cooks with them!
The apples are a mystery. We saw several on the road with bites out of them-from the rouge tree across the road and near the garden. Sara investigated and decided to harvest them - lots on the ground and even some in the tree still with bites out of them. Hmmm? SO...early apple harvest for us. Even the apples behind the house are falling on the ground. They are trying to tell us they are done - but we are not ready for them yet! We will try apple pie in a jar this year. Applesauce making scheduled for early September.
