Other people's trees
When Dirk came over for dinner he brought us a bag of lemons from his tree. He said he picked three bags full and it had no effect on the quantity of lemons on the tree.
Jonathan made lemon curd with some of them that we had for dessert tonight.
Daily Dinner
We had Jonathan's sister and her husband over for dinner and we had tomato soup from tomatoes we roasted this summer flavored with thyme, sage and cilantro and spicy perennial pepper, and we had a mess of mustard greens with fake sausage, the fake sausage not being from our yard. I made a loaf of bread that didn't bake fast enough.
Ooops! still a little raw! But the wheat comes from the farmer's market and it home ground.
Daily Harvest
We got more worm castings today for a bed we are preparing. The chickens love the crumbled eggshell in the worm bin - a habit that I do not like to encourage. We also found a family of slugs in the bin which the chickens were uninterested in. Why not ladies? Worms yes, slugs no?
Here are more perennial peppers. The plant may not be able to perennial after all, it seems to have been damaged in the frost we had. We'll see. The peppers are delicious- surprisingly spicy.
