My how the weather has warmed.... the nightshades (peppers, eggplants, tomatoes) were all flowering today, hoping for summer to keep on keeping on..... We're enjoying a delayed frost with lots of treats from the garden still to munch on.
The restaurant is officially closed until the last weekend in May 2011. It was a great season, though now we're in full swing getting ready for winter.... Loads of firewood, compost hauling for the garlic to plant, cover crop planting, as well as all of the ongoing food processing. A small batch of baba ganooj was made this evening- in prior years we had more eggplants than we could handle- with this cooler summer we were left with a small fraction of the usual harvest (10% harvest on the nightshades!). Oh well- the leeks and celery, potatoes and winter squash, melons and peaches were all plentiful and delicious!
