Lemons and Peppers finish the season

Is it really the end of November and we're still picking vegetables and fruits? 
Take a look at the abundance of peppers and lemons we picked over Thanksgiving Break.
We froze most of the peppers but the lemons were turned into lemonade concentrate, perfect to freeze and use it this spring. We also stayed with the jelly and jam theme and made lemon marmalade.
This is our first time with lemon marmalade but the first batch is great.

 

Kiwis and Thanksgiving

Do you know what 50 kiwis look like?
Look below and you'll find out.
We picked these yesterday ahead of the frost we had last night.

Kiwis set fruit in their 4th year. These are the product of one four year old tree. Next year we will have 4 more four year old trees.

These are sweet as sugar and will complete the ripening process inside in a few days

Even in the winter, there's always activity in the Backyard Garden!
