Pick 43 Pounds of Fruit this Summer (read all 9 entries…)
Perhaps as much as 43 Kg 13 months ago

We picked 7 pounds of raspberries one beautiful afternoon. We returned two weeks later expecting the field to be done, but collected another 5 pounds.

Then we turned our attention to apples. The first trip we picked over 10 pounds. We ate crisp apples all week, and made pie and froze a bag of peeled slices.

On the next trip we collected another 15 pounds of apples. A dinner conversation about caramel apples at the fair inspired me to make a quick batch of caramel with chopped pecans, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. I drizzled this over slices of fresh apple and the table was so happy that all three kids were silent as they scooped up every last bit of caramel from the bottom of the bowl.

The vines are getting tired.



Grow 43 pounds of tomatoes (read all 14 entries…)
2.418 Kg 15 months ago

13.128 Kg to date.

67% to the target.

I found an old tally in the kitchen drawer. Last year I hit 40 pounds (or some other previous year).

There has been lots of rain which encourages the mold and discourages bees.
