First time I've seen a raptor on the roof! When it landed the pigeons took off LOL

Waiting for me when I just got home. Surprisingly, not in any of the gardens.

It was a warm day today after a few very cool ones and the ladybugs decided they wanted one last hurrah before hibernating. See it here

Sami does love the fire! (Even if it's HOT.)

Upstate for a bit to work on the food forest and it's chilly so thought I'd clean out the stove for the first fire of the season. 🍂 🔥 Am I early or late to this party?
Sam's never had a fire before, and he's a heat-lover, he has no idea what he's in store for! 😻

Awesome ginger harvest, horrible sweet potatos--not many and eaten by grubs 😪

Tips for preserving Chives in a small Brooklyn apartment...
1. Use kitchen scissors to cut them small (I'm on the couch watching YouTube maybe with a glass of sauv blanc 😊).
2. A small dehydrator works best in a crowded kitchen.
3. Cut a silicone mat to fit the tray and use a bench scraper to remove them when dried.
4. Put in a recycled spice jar with the help of a funnel.
5. The dehydrator folds down for easier storage.
