Post #82 – Women’s Memoirs, Book Business – Kendra Bonnett and Matilda Butler
It’s harvest time here in Maine. And I have some nice vegetables coming out of the garden this week. I’ve got big, beautiful red cabbage, crisp cauliflower that are white tinged with lavender, snappy jalapenos for my own hot sauce, firm Butter Crunch lettuce that’s got a bit of a nutty flavor, a few cantaloupes (I can’t wait for the first bite) and tomatoes. Lots and lots of tomatoes. Romas, Better Boys, even a few heirloom varieties. I’ve counted more than 130 on the vine.
With Irene blowing its way up the eastern seaboard, I’ll be harvesting everything that’s close to being ripe today and tomorrow. We’re not supposed to get hurricane activity here in Downeast Maine, but we will get some heavy rain and stronger winds. I also wouldn’t be surprised if we lose power for a bit, but I’ve got that covered with a generator and a gas stove. So for me right now it’s just about saving the veggies. [click to continue…]
