Snow keeps falling... so quiet and peaceful.
First major snowfall of 25/26 Winter... and it's just getting started.
Last harvest of 2025!
They say to leave parsnips in for awhile after the frosts. We've had a few frosty mornings, so I thought mid-November was a good time to go get them.
A good haul! Much better than I've done in the past. I think my soil-regeneration efforts - cover crops, rotation and compost - are helping!
Now on to blanching and freezing these lovelies.

N. T. CrotserWe were at my parents' and my dad wanted me to check if this rather large spider (approx. 5") he discovered in thier basement was still alive. Not only did it prove to keep with the rule that their lack of blood pressure is why they curl when they die, but that they /also/ arent fans of being blown on.
