All of a sudden, everything is ripening at the same time!
- BLACKBERRIES: Still picking and processing blackberries. As of today, we have picked about 1700 pounds of berries. Grammy and Koty came to visit for the whole week and helped to pick. They took a trunk full of berries back to Bedford County. Tina made 4 batches of jam yesterday and the rest of this weekend’s berry harvest was frozen.
- POTATOES: All our potatoes were harvested this week, we ended up with over 18 bushel. They are spread out on the upper floor of the barn to dry, before we put them in crates and keep in a walk-in cooler for the winter.
- CORN: Yes, our sweet-corn batch #1 is ready. We’ve been eating it all week, but the individual kernels were not really filled out yet. But they were today. We sold some at the produce stand and then husked and blanched 4 bushel.
