Part-time hermit. Often found pottering in the gardens here in my corner of Maine. Odd penchant for truth, kindness and basic human decency. Enjoys cheese.
I feel very fortunate we have such an ideal garden spot. About 2 1/2 acres of woods out of 3, but we have the best place of all of it for the vegetable garden.

We found the seed at Fedco. Can't wait to grow them again next year. 😊🍅🍅🍅

It's been a great year, despite the drought. So thankful! 😊

There's something so satisfying about harvesting root crops. Perhaps because you can't tell if anything grew until you start harvesting. The mystery!

Aosta Valley cherry tomatoes.
They're the BEST tomato I've ever grown. Started them from seed in late April & they're still going after 2 frosts! I've made quarts of sauce from them, the tastiest I've ever made.
They have a great story if you want to Google them.
I give them 4++ stars!

They are so good. Homegrown carrots are one of my favorites. 😊

Yikes! Here's hoping the price goes down as harvest time goes on.

Oh, no! Very glad you had some in the greenhouse. A small harvest is better than no harvest. Enjoy them! 😊

Freeze 'em. Chop them up as usual, pop them into bags and that's that. I'll have enough peppers to see me through until next summer, only buying a fresh one now and again for sandwiches.

I have. The peppers always ended up watery, whether I blanched them beforehand or not.
I don't usually blanch peppers for the freezer, just chop and freeze. They thaw great, so I'm not sure why stuffing whole ones didn't work for me.

😊 Always worth the effort, especially when deep winter arrives.

I thought of you, Joy, as I was tucking in all the herbs and such. You've inspired me over the years. 😊
