Before the storm hit today I managed to look at our pitiful garden (thanks to our lousy spring). I pulled up the remaining tomato plants and hung them upside down to try to ripen the green tomatoes. I did manage to pick one red tomato (our entire tomato harvest for the year). I picked the last of the green beans and picked some small but ripe ears of corn. Most of our corn hasn’t ripened yet (and probably won’t) but at least we have a little to eat and freeze. I then picked the grapes. We actually have a surprisingly good grape harvest this year. The grapes came with the place, and I don’t know what kind they are. They aren’t sweet enough to eat, and there’s not enough to make wine so I make raisins with them. The raisins turn out really tasty from these green sour grapes. So I have the first batch of raisins started now.
