It’s not quite over. Lettuce, carrots, leeks, Brussels sprouts, and kale are still out there, but all the other crops have been harvested. Now we have to clean up the mess left behind and start prepping the beds for next spring. I’ve got piles of weeds and spent […]

September is when most of the heavy lifting of the harvest occurs. I’m always amazed at how much food can be grown by one person on a small piece of land. This year’s harvest has been exceptional.

It’s more than a snack for us – it’s a main course. This botanas recipe is similar to nachos. I first made it in the early 1970’s. It came from the local newspaper in Wyandotte, MI.

The answer is lots and lots. As we like indeterminate heirlooms, trellising is imperative. I tried something different this year. I did almost no pruning. Mostly, I pruned leaves that could make ground contact and straggler stems that got outside the tied-down stems. I […]
