Tomatillo Salsa Verde - Artichoke Seeds - In the hoop house (+playlist)

Garden season drawing to a close we had our first light frost today. A look around at things that are still growing in the hoop house, saving some artichoke seeds harvesting some vegetables that were hidden under the vines. I picked my tomatillos and found a recipe for Salsa Verde which turned out to be quite nice.

Construction, Crushing and Paving

A collection of clips that I've taken over the past month or so documenting the activity in a quarry close to where I live. Rock blasting, crushing and the much needed resurfacing of the local highway which had not be done in almost 30 years. I'm fascinated by all of the large machines and the incredible amount of work that has been done here in the last few weeks.

Hens & Chantecler Chicks 10 Weeks Old

Out reading and watching the hens free range. Now I'm concerned that my 5 Chantecler chicks might be 4 roosters and 1 little hen. I explain why this might be happening.

Pickled Cauliflower, Cara Potato Storage, Harvesting, Compost and Chante...

Two of my Cauliflower were ready to harvest so I made a few jars of   Cauliflower Pickles I think they turned out well and should be nice and spicy as I used Thai Birdseye chillies.I think I have settled on a method for storing some of the Cara potatoes for next years garden. A look at some compost that is ready to use, I plan to put most of it in the raised beds in the hoop house. Of course another look at the Chantecler Chicks which were eight weeks old when this clip was recorded.
