\u2026but we’re also still harvesting seeds. Today Ashley and I shelled two gallons of beautiful Bear Island Chippewa corn. I just can’t get over how beautiful it is and how fat those colorful kernels are. Most ears have 12-14 rows and are nice and long. I can’t wait to grind some cornmeal.<\/p>\n

I also canned some tomatoes today although our high was only 45 degrees. It’s so messy I do it out on the porch. But I can tell you I didn’t spend a lot of time out there with wet hands! Brrrrr \u2014 they’re even saying the S word.<\/p>\n

As the night temps are getting so low and remaining low, we’ve decided not to heat the hoop houses any longer — since we use propane it’s too expensive. So I picked all the assorted peppers in the farthest hoop house and then hit the nearest hoop houses where our seed peppers are grown. Besides some old ones for us, like Early Red, I harvested a bunch of Fresno peppers and New Mexico Big Jim Chili peppers I used to grow in New Mexico. The Fresnos are pretty hot where the Big Jims are a more a medium hot. We were impressed with both as our growing season really was horrible.<\/p>\n

These Fresno peppers are pretty…and HOT.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Will’s busy hauling manure out to our north garden; he’s got about 1\/2 an acre well covered now. The horses are busy watching him run the tractor; it’s their reality show, I guess! <\/p>\n

Our Friesian mare, Ladyhawk, is very interested in Will hauling manure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
