We've already had raised beds up there, but the trees are even higher up on the hill so probably not a god plan to ever have put them in that location to begin with.
This morning I made up 2qts of tomato juice, we'll just keep that in fridge, chopped (for chili fixins) and sliced (for stir fries) bell peppers that are all now in freezer to freeze individually before vacuum pack them later tonight.
Cut up 4 cantaloupe, 2 watermelons to also have ready to eat in the fridge. Later I'll cut up the remainder of the melons and freeze them.
We only got down to 50, but we got just under .25 inch of rain. Another .25 is forecasted for us to get Sunday. Needless to say the tanks are pretty full, some are filled. No doubt we've been able top turn off hte sprinklers and soaker hoses for the season. Hopefully the rains will help soften the soil some so those tie down things go in a little easier on Monday. It is over -kill on securing the foundation but better to over-kill than to be sorry if a microburst wind were to hit it.
It is
to see it all coming to an end, but like that we have seasons, and changes of weather. You get to take break from one thing only to put your energy into something else.
I'm making large batch of chili today for dinner and the extra amount I'll prep for freeze drying. I have silicone baking dish that makes little loafs that use to make single serve sizes of things when I pre-freeze them. It gives us easy to package up amounts that are uniform in size so we can tell how many servings are in bag.
