Yesterday I came home to a box of tomatoes at the back door. More HongKong style tomato and egg #harvest

The first day of Autumn started a little cold. Rode to Bracknell and then Westbury for lunch of an eggplant harvest. Said hello to Jax the dalmatian. Such a life affirming day. NEEDED IT! #tasmania #motorcycle #harvest #food #doggo

Last of the tomatoes, except for the bajillion green ones that are still on the vine.

There's a permaculture potluck next Saturday. I could make a big batch of the roasted tomato, garlic, and chickpea dish but WHAT IF everyone else is in the same situation and makes the same decision?

Picked the last of this year's basil. Frost tomorrow night, maybe tonight. When I was a kid, fall was my favorite season. Then I became a gardener.

"Huh? #Harvest of souls?" Rory mused. "What does that mean?"
As she'd promised, Tseluna had introduced Rory to video games and he'd quickly become enthralled.
"Some people believe humans have a non-biological component, the soul, that persists after death."
"Really?" Rory said. "Weird."
"And they imagine various kinds of magical creatures that can harvest these 'souls'."
Rory scrunched up his face as he tried to comprehend the unfamiliar idea.
"Does that really happen?" he asked.
"No."

I got five beautiful pumpkins and five butternut squash. There are more butternut and acorn squash that don't look ripe, and not many more days before a freeze. Do you have any good recipes for not-quite-ripe winter squash?

Wishing you an abundant harvest with more than enough to share.

Lughnasadh Blessing:

May your harvest be sweet,
and your labor honored.

May your plate be full,
with plenty to share.

blessed be — Thorn

Some of my favorite things about summer are the moments of small batch preservation as you harvest. I had a bunch of dill and a handful of cucumbers so I pickled some red onions and made a couple jars of bread and butter pickles this morning. What a lovely start to my day #Food #Harvest #Garden

Lovely Peeps, esp those of you of any #faith / denomination: does your place of worship celebrate a #harvest festival?

If so, what parts (hymns / psalms / rituals / other) are most meaningful? Why?

Do you distribute the food w/i the congregation? (As opposed to foodbank donation.) How to choose the recipients & do so sensitively?

Also, any thoughts/advice welcome, but am esp thinking of fresh produce; that those with gardens giving their firstfruits to those in the congregation in need.
