| I awoke to the first snow of the season and I'm eating the last of my WS tomatoes today. Also had the last of my WS leeks this week in a wonderful potato/leek soup. I still have some WS beets, but then that is the end of my produce.
I bought "Root Cellaring" and hope to WS, grow and store more produce next year. How much produce and how do you store your crops for the winter? |

| Me, too, the very last of my WS Small Fry tomatoes today! My produce is mainly from my herb plants and I have only WS cilantro so far. I have dried thyme very successfully this year! Trudi, you answered my post in the tomato forum last yr & sent me a link to my state u ag center's list of disease-resistant tomatoes for my area, Small Fry being one of them. Thanks again!

| Hey, Tom, does how does drying sweet peppers work? How do you use the dried peppers? |

| Last -- We've eaten up the last of the carrots & nearly all our potatoes, but still have kale & swiss chard standing ready to plant. Still have tiny dried chili peppers left, but they're not too hot this year, so won't last long. Sweet peppers went into the freezer after cutting in strips & add them at the end of cooking to keep their color & taste. Long gone are the chives & I didn't preserve any this year, but did dig a clump divide & pot it up for the porch for earlier chives in spring (I hope. I may need to bring inside instead.) I saw some ripening alpine strawberries in a protected pot near the shed last week that I'm keeping my eye on. I can't believe that plant because we've had freezing nights for over a month with a low of 18 degrees. First -- Self sown arugula is almost ready for some snipping, but not quite yet. If we get some good days of sunshine & less fog we might have some for Christmas morning greenies added to scrambled eggs or in a Christmas eve chowder. Otherwise, we'll harvest in the new year. |
