Update from the Gardens

We have begun to dig our sweet potatoes!  As we do, the calendula, marigolds, and nasturtiums are putting out brilliant autumn blossoms.  We plowed our "Tamarack" garden, which we've left fallow for 2 years and was mostly covered with clover, in preparation for garlic planting.  Canned tomato sauce jars now line the root cellar shelves and we prepare for the colder weather when we will start to dig all the storage roots (carrots, beets, potatoes, celery root).  The smell of saurkraut is in the air and soon the smell of fermenting daikon will grace us as part of the kimchee making process.
