Despite a couple of light freezes we picked about 20 Gypsy chilies
today. Will harvest the first broccoli head this weekend and the lone
cauliflower is heading. Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, and other greens
are doing well so we're eating fresh greens daily.

Temps in the low sixties today, feels almost like spring, a little rain
would help. Discovered a few earthworms whilst digging in the raised
beds today. Seems the seeding we did back in early spring is somewhat of
a success.

Harvested most of the kumquats early in the week and made four pints of
marmalade. Do wish the tree would grow faster. G We did put up
eighteen pints of fig jam over the summer and the tree isn't over five
feet tall yet.


I have a kumquat sitting in my kitchen. Darn thing is at most- 2 feet
tall and covered with kumquats. Dunno how many or even IF any of them
will ripen, but it sure is fun to watch the darn things grow.
