Winter activities

Ever wonder what we do in the winter in the Backyard Garden? It's much the same as the summer but on a smaller scale. Westin, our youngest son, gave us a book on canning for Christmas which is full of exciting recipes. Of course we found several we wanted to try. First in line is Habanero Pickled Onions. We picked a half dozen of our overwintered habaneros, bought some onions, pulled out the canner and we were ready to go.
See the pictures below. 
We also discovered our first broccoli ready to pick. Both look good, can't wait to try them!
Happy New Year!!

December

This time of year, we are busy selling what we have created out of our backyard garden. It's always exciting watching our customers react with joy after tasting some of our new creations. Thanks so much for supporting us in this endeavour. 
The weather has been cold and wet but we are also overwintering about a dozen pepper plants protecting them from the frosts. Plus we are growing mustard greens and carrots in the garden.
Good eating for sure.
