Last harvest before the frost!

That is only one representative of the large quantity of white pattypan squash we have left! They do keep quite well though. Alas, the butternut squashes did not have time to fully ripen. Nor did the acorn squashes on the table, but there were five mature ones we already harvested, so I'll get to taste them how they properly should be, at least (I've never had acorn squash before!). Still in the garden is the frost-hardy stuff: leeks, parsnips, swedes, salsify, brussel sprouts, kale, etc. ALTHOUGH I just thought to double-check how frost-hardy swedes are, and hmm, not actually so much, so this post was interrupted by going out to put fabric over them. I suppose we should harvest them tomorrow.

Did you live there before?

Yes, I lived most of my life in a tiny, rather isolated countryside village in North Italy. We grew and raised the majority of our food. A few years ago I moved to a city in another country due to personal reasons, but I dream of going back to the countryside one day... I don't think I'll ever be comfortable living in a city, haha.
