In the rush and scurry of this past week, I was unable to post a couple of images and stories.  I’d like to share one with you today.

Looks like we’ll be enjoying butternut squash for the next year.  Our garden came through for us once again.  Sylvia will bake these and then, when they are cool, she’ll scoop out the squash and divide them into meal-size portion, putting them in plastics bags.  We’ll form them flat in the bags, stack them on a tray and pop them into the freezer.

We had some problems with bags “gripping” onto the wires that constitute the freezer shelves.  The tray keeps them in perfect shape.  Once the food is frozen, we remove the tray.

In the garden, there are blossoms on the peas.  However, there is only one pod and that is not developing.  I was hoping to pick peas in November.  Hmmm . . .  Maybe if I plant them indoors.  The walk-out end of the basement gets plenty of light, and it’s cool.  Not sure if the days are long enough for their health.

Looks like a second touch of Indian summer this week.  That’s very nice.
