Have I really not blogged since Wed? I know, I posted enough to last a few days, but I'm trying hard to write something every day.
Today is harvest day. We're expecting freezing temperatures overnight and a possibility of snow. The basil HAS to come out (of course), and my peppers and green tomatoes - maybe I'll make salsa verde with some of them. There are 2 more ripe pumpkins (the kids claimed the first two). I was really surprised I only got 4 pumpkins this year when at one point I had at least 50 blossoms - I'll have to figure out for next year what they needed but didn't get this year. I'm hoping I can do something to protect the immature tomatillos (tons of them) so I can make more of an absolutely awesome salsa I got a tiny bit of last month. And I think the potatoes can stay in the ground if they need a little more time - last time I checked they were still kind of small.
But first I need to work on straigtening up the office. I don't know how this room gets so messy when all we do is school & computer stuff in here! |
Now a question, since I am pretty ignorant of gardening things. What are tomatillos? I've heard of them before, but can't say I know exactly what they are, other than guessing that they're a variety of tomato.
