Garden ... Kitchen ... Firewood ...

November 1, 2016

It's hard to believe that I am still gardening in November ...
The spinach was picked ... brought in ... washed ... and vacuum sealed in to bags ...
to be used in our morning smoothies ...
 
More carrots were picked ... washed ... cut and put into jars ...
to be processed ...
 
More jars of carrots for my pantry ...
Soon it will be full ... and well stocked for the season ...
 
November 2, 2016
Normally the garlic is usually planted in October ...
The ground was still warm in the raised beds ... there shouldn't be an issue ...
with planting them this day ...
It was a warm ... sunny day ... lovely day ... !!!
 
Mike and I decided to get another load of firewood ...
We were going to finish cutting the last of the pine wood ...
I won this pile of firewood four years ...
When we started to split some of the logs ...
the ones that had been laying on the ground for all those years ...
were infested with ants ...
Mike did spray the ants ... and then we hauled the logs down to the firebox ...
and burnt them right away ...
Ants are not what we want close to our log home ...
 
Love our new splitter and the log pick ...
the pick makes it easier to lift and maneuver the large pieces ...
to get them to the splitter ...

Oh my we are so close to getting done ...
it seems like we are just replacing the ones we are burning now to heat the house ...
If we had worked on it earlier in the year ...
it would have been full ...

  1. Never saw so many ants , good you got to them and sent them to ant haven .... we hade a sandbox in the basement for keeping the carrots, just stacked them in and they kept well over the winter .
