Frost Time-September 14


With Paula on work assignment in England, Sara was abandoned in the time of Nammah’s greatest need (one of them anyway).  The frost threatened earlier in the month, Sara covered more than once, all the while harvesting more than usual to prepare for the end. The end finally came with a hard frost on September 14, same day as last year, but three nights with a headlamp and she harvested it all.  Squash, tomatoes, basil, peppers, other herbs – the brasica’s can stay for a while – she even potted some lettuce to keep in in fresh greens a bit longer!

New to the larder, thanks to Sara and her time in charge, roasted tomatillo salsa (salsa verde) and V8 (aka bloody mary mix)!  A perfect use for the celery, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and herbs!
