I have two qt. bags of frozen roasted Sandia Hot chile. Let me know if you want them. I’ll bring a sample of Green Tomato Relish that is very much like my mother’s Chow-Chow recipe. It will be a good way to use green tomatoes and it is delicious. And speaking of tomatoes, be sure you look under the lowest branches of the plants. We are finding half rotten tomatoes just going to waste under there.
What we did on Wed.
Ron, Steve, Kathy hit the garden first and started the harvesting, Deb took the chore of water master, Jeany reclaimed a small corn plot, Desiree and Suzanne helped harvest and water, Claudia found a few squash bugs, I found a couple of tomato worms eating an overlooked potato plant. Geri brought frozen roasted chile to distribute. Steve tested the water flow of the proposed garlic plot and Linda crawled out of the tomato patch with another basket of tomatoes after everyone had harvested.
What we need to do on Sat.
Since we are still harvesting beans, tomatoes, egg plant, and chile we’ll need to water those plots plus the plot by the shed and the chard/lettuce spinach plot. Someone can take down the last corn plot and groom the plot next to it. We’ll need to start planting garlic and shallots. Since Oct. 15 is the average first frost we need to harvest herbs. We can dry them in the greenhouse in the white hanging herb dryer. Steve has established a tool cleaning station so check your tools before you put them back in the shed.
