The suburban farmers have been off the blog for a day or two, learning and preserving. On Tuesday, we had a viewing of the video King Corn which we highly recommend. Did you know that most of the carbon in an American's body comes from corn? And not necessarily the healthy kind! This video is a real eye opener.
Last night, with another 15 lbs of apples, we made quarts and quarts of spiced applesauce. It was lots of peeling, slicing, and stirring, but we now have 11 jars of delicious organic applesauce.
We harvested 3 more pumpkins today and 50 green tomatoes. Some time soon, we're making apple-tomato chutney. Next week, we have to start processing all those pumpkins. Thanks mom for the pumpkin recipes!
The leaves are finally beginning to change color. We've taken Barkley on 3 walks so far this week to take in all the colors. He's in doggie heaven!
