I made a wild grape oxymel and more jelly with foraged grapes (Vitis riparia) 🌱.

The grape oxymel is delicious. I am going to make more with rosemary added in.

Pulling some carrots for vegetable soup 🌱.

Planted these in mid-July. They're a little small still so I'll let the rest keep growing.

Celery loving the cold weather 🌱.

These were covered by giant pumpkin vines but they are doing well now that they are free and the weather is cooler.

I dropped a few arugula seeds in my gravel patio a few weeks ago. They're growing better than the arugula in my raised bed 🙃🌱

Rosehips from the invasive multiflora rose 🌱.

I found these on a hike the other day so I went back to harvest them this morning. I'll use them for teas, syrups, and shrubs.

Harvested the last of the amaranth before the freeze. 🌱

I put the stems in paper bags to let them dry out a bit, and in a week or two I will harvest the seeds.
