So now that we have had several days of frost/freeze the garden is looking pretty done, even those few plants I managed to cover. So what is everyone hurrying around to put up at the last minute?
I'm dehydrating some eggplant, trying to save some tomato seed from a plant Rain had shared with me, stringing peppers left and right (I'm not sure where to hang them all), have chicken bones on the stove to make a broth for soup to use up those little side cabbage heads, still need to harvest the parsnip and some carrot to can together, cover the rest of the carrots in the ground, and clean up.
And did I mention apples? the last two varieties are being harvested now so those will need to be dehydrated and made into applesauces, but those I have some time with.

For the first time any many, many years we didn't plant a garden so we aren't scrambling to keep it watered/covered or any of that stuff.
We didn't get to harvest many of our pears for a variety of reasons and, hopefully, we'll get some apples to do something with before too late.
Sad story, huh???? Pretty pathetic because it's just not like us to not have a garden and not be putting stuff away.
