  6. Didn't do much today, but made some proper #food by #cooking with some leftover #garden #harvest. Tomatoes, bell pepper, assorted vegetables and penne.

  7. Not a lot of harvesting in the garden this year but it's adequate. A bit of cooler weather has helped. Some big cucumbers, orange tomatoes from a volunteer, zucchini and squash, and a bumper crop of marigolds... I've actually cut out a dozen or more of them from that bed but the peppers are recovering from whatever they had going on too late to do anything now. Saving some pole bean seeds too!

  8. Love 'em or hate 'em (most people hate them) chokeberries are ready to harvest! They might not be the sweetest berry in the bush, but they're full of vitamins and antioxidants. You can juice them or jam them in the same way as other fruits and berries. Chokeberries (marja-aronia in Finnish) are very plentiful in all kinds of public spaces, so let us use them!

    "What do you do with the bounty from your garden? Freeze it, pickle it, dry it, store it! If you’re new to preserving food, here are 10 quick and easy ideas—from freezing mint in ice cubes to making a small-batch pesto recipe using just a handful of basil leaves!"

    Excerpt: "Store Long-Lasting Crops

    Little or no special equipment is required to put these goods away until you want them:

    #Apples: Apples keep well for about 6 months at temperatures above freezing but below 45°F. If you don’t have a root cellar, a double cardboard box in a cool basement can approximate the conditions.

    #Carrots: After harvesting, remove the green tops and brush off any excess dirt. Put the carrots into a cardboard box and pack dry sand around them. Store the box in a cool basement.

    #Onions and #Garlic: Hang mature, dry-skin onion bulbs in a mesh bag in a cool, dry, airy location. Braided onions and garlic can also be hung.

    #RootVegetables: If covered with a thick layer of mulch (hay, dried leaves, straw), carrots, garlic, horseradish, leeks, parsley, parsnips, radishes, and turnips can be left in the ground well into the winter and harvested into the spring."

    “As we navigate the intensifying impacts of the 2026 El Niño, the vulnerability of our global food systems require careful evaluation. With this year’s erratic weather patterns driving severe, prolonged droughts in some regions and unseasonal, devastating floods in others, the climate crisis is proving that it is not a distant threat; it is happening right now, in our fields and on our plates.
    This crisis is more visible in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region. Often called the “water tower of Asia,” this vast mountain range sustains 240 million people across eight countries and provides essential ecosystem services to nearly 2 billion people downstream. When glaciers melt at accelerated rates and monsoons become unpredictable, the narrative often focuses solely on the mountain communities. But the truth is much broader: a disrupted harvest in the high hills of Nepal or Bhutan creates a domino effect. It leads to displaced populations, reduced agricultural output flowing into the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra basins, and ultimately, skyrocketing food prices for families living in the sprawling downstream plains.
    The climate crisis respects no borders and recognizes no difference between altitude and sea level. Because this problem affects us all, the solution must protect us all. Fortunately, the means to overcome this challenge are already in our hands, locked within the ancient seeds of the mountains…”

  12. It’s loquat season! 🍊 The Japanese loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is one of the first fruits of the year. Its flavor is a wonderfully refreshing mix of apricot and plum with a hint of tartness.

    ​Whether fresh from the tree, as jam, or in a chutney – these little bursts of sunshine are pure gold. Have you ever tried them?
