Harvest

The temps are dropping into the low 30's tonight so the gig was up today on the apples. I had been letting them get riper by the day but I worried that the cold weather would make the mooshy so I got out the eight foot step ladder and picked a boatload of apples.
Tomorrow we'll be getting some ready to put in the freezer, we'll can some, dehydrate some and make a few pies.
We also picked that last picking of the peppers and tomatoes. Jilda always puts up a bunch of jalapenos each year. We have kinfolk that love these as Christmas gifts. The pepper sauce is also good on the turnip greens that we planted a few weeks ago. Yum. I love the fall.
