My Garden Was Attacked: The Deer Ate Everything!
I spent months growing my garden, watched everything grow, and was just about ready to start harvesting. Then the deer decided my garden was their personal buffet. If you garden, you probably know how exciting this time of year can be. You've spent months planting seeds, watering, weeding, watching for pests, and checking your plants every day. Eventually, all that work starts paying off. The tomatoes are finally covered in fruit. The zucchini and squash are growing. The potatoes are […]https://duffneysbirdbarn.wordpress.com/2026/09/21/my-garden-was-attacked-the-deer-ate-everything/
Surprised Gifts! 🎁
Before teaching, Josie from my SPARTA Strength Class at the Malden Senior Center blessed me with an amazing garden harvest—basil, eggplant, peppers, cucumber, and zucchini! 🥒🍆

Do you use chives more for eggs or potatoes? 😁👇

The work is never ending during a good fruit year but so worth it to have all this shelf stable food for the winter. This week I've done green relish (2 kinds), apricot jam, apricot marmalade, apricot sauce, peach salsa, canned peaches, plum sauce plus frozen plums, dehydrated pears, canned pears, canned tomatoes, and now I am onto the apples. Have a turkey roaster full of apples to make applesauce and apple leather. Still working on the last of the pears as well. (There are a half dozen giant zucchinis side eyeing me, too.)
Taking tonight off to go see a local music event. Then back to it tomorrow.
I know the addition of kale and cabbage makes this more inspired by than a true Mediterranean dish. But the greens needed to be used, and they added a nice crunch to the dish.
My oven is broken and I was dying for a pumpkin spiced something. I have a big counter top turkey roaster so I figured.. ha! I also wanted to make it so my daughter could eat it so I created a gluten and dairy free cake using certified gluten free rolled oats:
Dry:
4 cups of freshly pulverized oats into flour (measure after you take it out of the blender)
2 cups unrefined organic cane sugar
1 tsp each of cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp each of whole allspice smashed in a mortar and pestle, and salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Wet:
2 cups of pumpkin puree (from the freezer from last year's jack o' lantern)
1 pint of home canned applesauce (trying to use up last year's)
1/2 cup of oil
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
Mix all together really well then let sit for a few minutes to hydrate the oat flour.
I put this into an angel food pan because it fit well on the rack inside my turkey roaster but wow, did it take a long time to bake, at least an hour and a half or longer. I was testing it every 10 minutes for the last 40 minutes or so at 350 degrees. Next time, I will bake it in a 9 x 13 instead, which also fits in the turkey roaster. It makes a very soft, moist, crumbly cake. We have been devouring it this afternoon. It would be amazing with cream cheese icing... but dairy... so it is unadorned.
I picked some green & yellow #beans from our gardens this morning. I will fry them up, for part of the lunch that I'm making for my Mom, in a couple of hours.

First garden harvest of this year! These redcurrants come from a bush that was already here when we bought the house. We need to do some work around where it is planted and I really hope the bush survives because it seems to really like that spot.
We also planted raspberries and gooseberries, which are also growing fruit despite only having been in the soil for about two months 😄

#Cucamelons aka #MouseMelon aka #Pepquinos are easy to grow & do well in PNW areas. Fruits are size of large grapes & they taste like sour cucumbers. Good for pickling. You can eat them raw, like cucumbers. I like dipping them raw into sea salt with some chopped red chili peppers.
It's native range goes from Mexico to Venezuela. Many people grow it in different areas of the world as a food crop.
