A wonderful couple that goes to our church made this amazing cold frame for us with some old windows and leftover scrap wood. We are so grateful to be able to start seeds in the late winter or very early spring next year!

| Our southern peas exploded despite the chickens helping themselves to bites out of the leaves. We have enjoyed these peas cooked with green beans, onion, bacon and seasonings in the crock pot. |

| We planted heirloom pie pumpkins for the first time this year! |

| This is a random HUGE mushroom BJ found growing in the yard. Anyone know if it's edible? |
I hope all is well around your homestead and that you are enjoying the late summer's harvest. We are so grateful for blessings this time of year. Coming soon- I received a pressure canner for my birthday along with the book Canning and Preserving with Ashley English. Stay tuned for a post on canning vegetables from the Roost!
