Harvest

I missed the September post, so when I look back one day at this photo, it will remind me what I did. I've been very lucky this year to get lots of tomatoes, zucchinis, cucumbers, squashes, apples, berries, and more. My parents and my mother-in-law had a very fruitful year. So instead of blogging, I've been "jarring" everything and anything that got close to me, meaning given to me. Since I switched to glass and I like freezing, my fridge weighs a tonne.

About a year ago, I was into baking, and I think I mastered the basics. This year I switched to a healthier alternative since everything grown at home is basically organic. When you see an apple worm crawling on your counter, you definitely know that your apple is organic. My garden was only okay; since I did it in small pots, things didn't grow very big, but I was lucky to have lots of nice basil. Even Matthew would pick on the leaves put in his mouth and say, "Good basil." Not to mention, my regular Zoom-Zoom visitor, the chipmunk, has been a happy camper eating my small tomatoes and egg plant fruit.
