Fall is harvest time. It is busy time of the year for me. Harvesting, canning, storing, pickling, you name it.
This the cucumbers, zuchinis, egg plants, pole beans, and peaches.
香瓜. This is the chinese melon. It is just about ready to pick.
小樱桃西红柿已经红了. 茄子可以栽了.Cherry tomatoes are riping on the vine. Herloom tomatoes just start to bare fruits. Egg plants are ready to pick.
Pumpkins are getting big. 南瓜长大了。
Chinese cucumbers grow really well. 黄瓜长得很快。
前院花园. Flower garden in the front property.
Sunflowers are blooming next to the barn. 向日葵开得自由自在。
Pole beans (left below) give us big harvest this year. Front yard next to the pond (right below) full of lavendar and rosemary.
We have three type of grapes in the property. I have made jam, jelly, juice and raisens over the years. I made red wine this year. Now, red wine is in the process of the fermentation. Should be ready in couple month.
几年来，我做了好多果酱，果汁，葡萄干。今年做了红葡萄酒。红酒还在发效中。还要大约两个月吧。
Look at the beets. I have never seen this big in my life.
好大的甜菜。我一生中还没有看过这么大的甜菜。
一生中第一次种土豆. Wow, 土豆大丰收. 我一生中还没有吃过这么好吃的土豆。
This is the first year we plant the pototoes. We had big harvest. We can't believe how delicious they are.
Comic pear and barlet. I canned 26 quarts of pear this year. Still have lot on the trees.
Sunflowers for the birds. Hope they have plenty food over the winter.
向日葵供给小鸟们好多越冬的食物。
甜玉米真的好甜. Sweet corns just like their name, really sweet.
Weather is getting cold. Have to pick the most I can.
胡萝卜大丰收。冷冻了好多。当然少不了胡萝卜蛋糕。Another great harvest for carrots. I froze a lot. Of course made couple of carrots cakes.
A lots of tomatoes are not riped yet. Have to let them ripe inside the house.
Two weeks later. They are riped.
Let's can them. 又做了10罐西红柿罐头。今年总共做了２７罐 quart size.
Good harvest year as usual. Storage is full of homemade can goods. I need more storage space........ I heard the voice: 'will see if Santa Clouse will bring you some in Christmas". I can't wait!
Thanksgiving is a celebration of the harvest traditionally. We have a lot thankful when a year goes by again. New year will start soon. Will be better every year.
