If you will look at this blog post from almost exactly 1 year ago, http://woodsidegardens.blogspot.com/2010/09/you-know-its-fall-when.html , you will find almost my exact dinner for tonight! I just added some chicken to the pan this time! Some things never change!
I made Crabbapple/Wild Blueberry Jam today, with apples from my sister's tree and berries my mom picked up north. I also managed to make a batch of Mint Jelly, with the last of the mint from my herb garden. We added some food coloring, at my son's request, and it is a very yummy emerald green!
The garden is officially put away for the year, as we have had a hard frost the last two nights in a row. All the raised beds have compost and steer manure covering them, which will be turned into the soil in the spring. The new compost pile has been started, and I covered the clematis, which isn't supposed to make it through the Alaskan winter, with old leaves from the edge of the yard. I also put some of the leaves in a burlap rice bag and put that over the top of the whole thing. I'm not holding my breath, but we will see if it works!
I didn't post any pictures of the garden this time, as I'm not sure you all want to see a bunch of bare raised beds full of compost and steer crap, but I'll take some if you want them!
