What a bounty!



Belive it or not, I canned these veggies! I heard a woman on NPR explaining how to make "Tomolives" with green cherry tomatoes and decided to give it a try. http://www.mrswheelbarrowskitchen.com/ They smelled amazing. The recipe suggests using other veggies like jalapeno peppers so I pickled two jars of those.  N loves jalapeno pickles, so hopefully these will live up to his expectations. Don't be surprised if you receive one of these jars as a holiday gift in December!



Because of the threat of frost tonight, I pulled out all my plants and here's what I found.



 Above are my herbs: sweet basil, rosemary and lavender. I'm going to bring them in the house over the winter to try to keep them alive. First, I have to figure out if I want to "clean" them to get rid of pests, or just replant them altogether.






Please, please, please ripen.........

The pumpkin is from our garden. It's tiny but cute. Of course, the bigger one grew through to the neighbor's side of the fence and I don't have the heart to ask if we can keep it!!  The butternut squash is from my across the street neighbor who has the greenest thumb on the block.
