I should of known it was coming…a lot sooner that I was willing to admit.
About 10 days ago, we woke up chilly and upon going outside to feed the animals….found it to be 40 degrees...in August.
The days in the 90’s and even 100 degree days, up here in the mountains can fool you….obviously——-you’d think I’d know all this by now.
Last Friday morning we woke up to another chilly one, Saturday the same…………but not in the 30’s like Sunday morning……….with a nice thick coat of frost!
That was all it took to finish off this years garden, or a good portion of it, anyway.
The spuds, carrots, onions, chives, lettuce and my pole beans that I planted in a huge whiskey barrel all are fine……my bush beans are toast–what the deer and turkey didn’t get the frost did….my tomatoes aren’t far behind and my poor zucchini– OY! I usually only plant ONE zucchini, because even I can’t kill a zucchini and the yield is so wonderful–one plant is plenty for us. Not this year. The leaves are BLACK on it after the frost. Sniffle sniffle.
Ah well, it’s Adonai’s way of saying this season is ending…I praise Him & thank Him for His clear direction!
Besides– the things our family eats most………..potatoes, carrots and onions are all fine………and look at this spud….my son loved it– a tiny little teddy bear potato! lol
Fall is here….and He is just giving me more time to plan for next years garden! Praise Yah!

What a blessing my girls are to me– Thank you girls!!
For my elevation / jars I canned in my water bath for 20 minutes. PERFECT Jam! In this batch I did NOT use sugar, it is DElicious Jam, a tiny bit tart with no sugar–but we like it that way! I add a cup of organic sugar sometimes and it sweetens it perfectly! There is no need for the ‘over sugared 10 cups white sugar recipe’ — not only is this cheaper — it is SO much better for you and we think, it tastes better too!
