Fall Harvest

While we have been harvesting some over the summer, things really pick up in the fall. 

To start with, we are trying something called a Tigger Melon (a plant Peter brought home, because Tiggar is a favorite of mine).  When its ripe, this melon is yellow an orange. 

 When you cut into it the flesh is white, and it smells a bit like honey due. The flavor is good, but very mild 

 We also did well with sweet peppers this year.  We have these purple ones, although they disappointingly lose color when cooked. 

 We also got quite a few green ones, and some good summer squash.

 Our tomatoes are coming in strong.  I expect we will get quite a few more rounds, but for now we can make some sauce for winter. 

One of our hives did quite well this year, although the other didn't.

We took 50 lbs for ourselves, and redistributed 25 lbs to the second hive. 

It's still early, but we are getting ready for winter.
