I was thinking yesterday I should get out and pick some more green beans not that I need anymore, but there was just more on the plants… And probably bring my celery in.

Of course, yesterday was the first time I didn’t actually look at the overnight forecast in like a month… And it hit -5 😳😱

I looked out at my salary this morning and it looked very sad… However, this afternoon it’s parked right back up so I think it’s still OK. My green beans however, had the biscuit. The chard is looking amazing and it’s going out to the pigs today and the plant survived -5 no problem but I’m just done gardening for the year lol

I still have carrots to bring in, but they’re OK for a while yet if I don’t get them done today. The rest of my herbs are still looking good too with the exception of the basil that looks very, very dead. 😂

I think the petunias are going to rally though… We’ve got a few nights or days in the forecast so I might get to enjoy them a little bit longer

** SPECIAL FX MAKEUP - Im fine **

A little practice yesterday for next weekend! I am not a very experienced FX artist but our pro star makeup artists are always so busy trying to get everyone prepped for our amazing haunted house I am trying to work on my skills so I can look after my own and take a little bit of their load off.

This is like my absolute favourite event of the year. It is so much fun to scare the crap out of people and we have such a great group that is so incredibly creative and puts together the most amazing haunted house. The coolest thing about this is that the money goes back to the community. We keep very little back for operating costs and so we can make improvement every year, but we donate to volunteer groups. I’m gonna put a link here to an article that was recently posted about our group. But we’ve donated $37,000 back to the community so far!!

SO if you are looking for a FUN time, October 23/24 is our evening haunts at Wawota Haunted Hotel! If you don’t think you can handle the full deal on Sunday the 25th in the afternoon we have the lighter visual tour and kids haunt where you can come through with the lights are up and the scares are down and you can see the amazing work that goes into this event.

Check out the comments for the link to the article that was published about our group.

We had the first hard frost here last night and just like that the cottonwoods are dropping their fall gowns. Beautiful but sad … but without fail the seasons change

“You can’t do that!! “ “ They will ☠️ each other “ “ Rabbits are territorial “ ummmm - I beg to differ. I can and have and always will run colonies. And never have I had an injury resulting from it.

Long video but here’s a real time introduction of several groups of rabbits.

I didn’t realize that there was people out there that didn’t know that tomatoes would ripen on their own if you pick them when they’re green. I mean, I’m a firm believer in the saying “ you don’t know what you don’t know “ - and really why would a person know a thing if they had never been taught it or learned it somewhere else? So I certainly don’t mean to poke fun at anybody for not realizing that, but it was one of those things that I have just known for as long as I can remember because we always have to pick tomatoes when they’re green in our climate.

It stands to reason that a person wouldn’t know what you did with a green tomato if they have a really long growing season and you just don’t pick them off the vine until they’re red! Tomatoes, however, are extremely frost sensitive and our growing season is short. I start my tomatoes in the house well before the snow is gone. Then the beginning of June it’s generally safe to put them outside lol If you don’t have them in a greenhouse, then picking your tomatoes in September while green is normal here. We often get a frost that would kill tomatoes in early September. Some years it’s much later, but if you pick them while they’re still green, they will in fact, ripen in the house.

My mom and grandma always covered them with newspaper. If tomatoes are covered, it is thought that they will ripen a little bit faster and a little bit more evenly. It’s not because they’re in the dark but a low lid or a covering like newspaper actually traps ethylene. Ethylene is a naturally occurring plant hormone in the form of a gas that triggers ripening in tomatoes.

Tomatoes that have reached a larger mature stage that ripen off the vine will be very similar if not the same flavour to tomatoes that are vine ripened. If they have not reached actual maturity before they are harvested they may never develop the same flavour as a vine ripened tomato, which is why they are touted to be the best if you can get them. I find that any ripened inside are still delicious. Most of the ones that ripen inside I use for canning and soups and sauces.

I’m working on processing some more beets today as well as getting the tomatoes that are ripe ready for the canner.

I am not ready to have to dress like this to be outside 😩 …. It’s wet and windy and rainy and generally 💩. It’s only 6 degrees C ( 43 F ) but feels like 1c (34 F). Ew. I think I’m gonna process veg, and make some borscht in the house where it’s less 🥶

Ooooo the first egg from my auction Easter Egger chicks I bought this spring! A lovely olive colour. So fun!

That’s some good 💩 right there!

Not a single part from one of the rabbits I processed yesterday was wasted. Their meat is my food. The scraps, organs, and viscera fed other animals. Their pelts will be tanned and made into warm soft blankets or clothing. Not even their s**t goes to waste!

These turds as well as urine soaked bedding are bagged up and will be put on the rows of my no-till garden. It will be covered in snow and break down over winter and it will grow the vegetables next year - much of which will actually be fed back to the rabbits!

So before you want to jump on me and what I do because I take the lives of animals to sustain my own life - maybe you should look at how I do this and why. I am creating a healthy sustainable lifestyle with ZERO food miles. We can grow hay and grain and greens to feed the rabbits who feed us and provide nutrients for the garden that feeds us and them.

So you can call me every name in the book. It won’t hurt my feelings. Because I am truly proud of what I do, confident in my methods and very secure in my choices. ✌️
