RE: Garden Journal - October 2022 ... let the snow fly as we say goodbye to all that's green and everything in-between

What bounty! That's a wonderful harvest. Love the selfie. You may inspire other veggie selfies. I hate the selfies but this beets cheesy grins at your camera. I am super impressed by that massive pot for the cookup. I have a couple 45 litre pots that I use for my goat milk cheese making. But I can't imagine cooking that much beetroot!

It was a great year for the garden.
The selfies are gag if you keep it light. I don't ever recall taking another selfie except for #hivegarden. That shit drives me crazy when you see someone posing for the camera and snapping off 24 pictures, tongue in, tongue out, smile, frown, etc.

I bought the cook pot 12 years ago to make homebrew. I had a smaller one, but after my first and only boil-over I fixed that problem.

It's great for blanching veggies, lots at a time.

Oooooo another happy (?) homebrewer! I'm thinking of trying a veggie wine this year. Our granadilla and honey mead was amazing. But I've sampled some lettuce and beetroot (yup - would you believe it) wine and it tops the charts

Veggie wine never had any. Years ago I did share some grappa with my landlord that he made.
Honey mead, now that's something I might try, but lettuce and beet wine, that has got to be very different.
