Making raw quince syrup. Linda Ziedrich’s recipe says this preserves the vitamin C an fresh flavor of the uncooked quince. This jar filled with quince from a friend and sugar will sit for 2 weeks, then I will drain the syrup. #quince

Today I am “Preserving Italy” with a green tomato preserves recipe by @domenicacooks . I love how some tomatoes add a little pink to the mix. This preserve complements cheese plates and is one of my favorite ways to use garden surplus. #sanmarzanotomatoes #preserves #fallkitchen

I believe I can now call myself a citrus grower, bringing them outside in summer and inside in winter, of course. How Italian! Anyway, left to right is Thai lime (kaffir lime is now considered a derogatory name), my new Sudachi hybrid Yuzu (different from regular Yuzu), and improved Meyer lemon with fruit that is still green. The Meyer struggled this summer but I’m going to get it back on track. Thank you @onegreenworld #citrusgrower #yuzu

I seeded these indoors in the spring and am delighted that they survived the hot summer and are still expressing themselves. Seeds from @territorialseedcompany , these zinnias are off the charts unique! #whirlygigzinnia

Thank you for offering native seeds @boskydellnatives (buy them now before they sell out)! Fall is the time to sow seed. I’ve never heard of these specific species and am excited for next year! The common names are lovely too (L to R): diamond clarkia, giant blue-eyed Mary, blue thimble flower, and winecup fairyfan. #nativeplants #backyard habitat
