First Harvest

We're starting to see some fruits (and vegetables) of our labor! The spinach and lettuce were all pulled up last week and are waiting their turn in the ice box. I don't think I'll eat salad again until next fall - there's nothing like a fresh head of buttercrunch or red leaf. We'll pull up the rest of the cabbage this weekend.

I've found a recipe for saurkraut that looks promising, and we'll have 5 big gorgeous heads of green cabbage to save. We can only eat so much coleslaw! And we'd hoped to start the pickle production, but I don't think we've got enough cucumbers ready yet. But they're coming on.

One thing's for sure - we've got plenty of dewberries. We'll be making dewberry jam by the bucketfuls! Get ready Friends and Family - Christmas gifts will probably be canned goods this year! Yum!
