November 1

November 2nd, 2005 at 12:53 am

What a beautiful day for central NY this time of year. We took a picnic today over to one of my father's fields where he was working (we live on a farm). Some fruit, sandwiches, and three kids who got to run around an empty field (we had my niece with us) - what a nice way to spend an afternoon. Then I finally got out to the garden today while the kids were napping to pull up all the old plants and my gladiola bulbs (by the way, if anyone wants to share with me what I am supposed to do with them now, I would be grateful. I have never planted gladiola's before so I am not sure how to preserve the bulbs for next year - just dry them out and store them?). Plus there are a few things still out there. I have some carrots, greens (spinach and swiss chard), and a few peppers left. We ate out of the garden everyday from late June until the end of September - talk about a money saver. I really need to learn to can so I can preserve some of this bounty. Right now I freeze a lot, but that takes up so much space. My mom was supposed to teach me how to can this year, but we never seemed to get around to it. Next year I will make it a priority.
Had to make an emergency run to the store today for a necessity that I forgot yesterday. Plus I picked up an eggplant while I was there as it was a lot cheaper than the ones I looked at yesterday, and I want to try a recipe for eggplant lasagna (you use eggplant slices instead of noodles). That's on the menu for tomorrow. Otherwise, it was a no-spend day.
