Figs

Collards & Radish

 

Bluebird here,

Happy autumn, my favorite thing mom cooks this time of the year is great beef stew poured into a hollowed out pumpkin and then baked for an hour. What’s also great is our chickens are laying a bunch of eggs.
The other day our fields were hayed, only with a large bailer (goats are easier to feed hay with square bales).

Last Saturday we went to the farmers market early to set up, and it was really cold (thankfully it warmed up), there was apples, corn, (great) pumpkins, mums, eggs, and a wide variety of greens along with some other vegetables. your suppose to plant fall seeds in the middle of august and we did but then they dried out, so we planted again then it flooded so they all washed away, we planted yet another time and then once more and they're starting to come up, especially the carrots. And for safe keeping we have some planted in flats. My favorite is Chinese mustard, it’s a dark purple at its best (haven’t ate it yet). Along with fresh figs, you cant beat this season.

We think it’s great news that several Tennessee Prisons are choosing to Go Green, and Live Green Tennessee recently visited Sergeant Doug Griffith of the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
Griffith explained a recycling program that turns leftover food from five prisons into rich, fertile mulch that’s then used on a 100-acre kitchen garden. The inmates working the farm save the prison system—and you, the taxpayer—money...
But more important is the responsibility, the fresh air, and the opportunity to learn practical, employable and life-long skills to help trustees adjust to life upon release.
