感恩節是豐收的節日,回顧豐收的一年
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.




小櫻桃西紅柿已經紅了. 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. 南瓜長大了。

 

Chinese cucumbers grow really well. 黃瓜長得很快。


前院花園. Flower garden in the front property.
 
Sunflowers are blooming next to the barn. 向日葵開得自由自在。
 

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.
幾年來,我做了好多果醬,果汁,葡萄幹。今年做了紅葡萄酒。紅酒還在發效中。還要大約兩個月吧。
    

Look at the beets. I have never seen this big in my life.
好大的甜菜。我一生中還沒有看過這麽大的甜菜。
 

一生中第一次種土豆. Wow, 土豆大豐收. 我一生中還沒有吃過這麽好吃的土豆。
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.
向日葵供給小鳥們好多越冬的食物。


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.



胡蘿卜大豐收。冷凍了好多。當然少不了胡蘿卜蛋糕。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罐西紅柿罐頭。今年總共做了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.

Sounds like you had fun. I can image your little beautiful garden. Midwest is nice place for garden. Wish you have a good harvest in your new home.

Thanks H&C Mom for your kindness notes! I have learned over the years from reading books, experimenting. Trust me, I had bad year, too. Give it patient and love, it will grow whereever you want. :-)
a豬 回複 悄悄話 我在中部還上學的時候,搞過一個小菜園,園子口種了黃色的daisy,種了土豆,收獲的時候很好玩;種的baby salad 都被鹿門作daily dinner了,zucinni種了4顆,大豐收,每天都瘋長阿,到處送...嗬嗬,還吃過鄰居探親老大爺種的大水蘿卜,好朋友種的番茄,辣椒等,很好玩
H&CMom 回複 悄悄話 你住Oregon? 我怎麽種什麽都不長?
佩服得不行,上班,做飯還種菜。
