Mora

In Nova Scotia, mora (black berries) grow wild, all over the place. We have started gathering them. We will make jelly, and syrup. The syrup can be used as a concentrate to make juice. The blackberry here has a slightly different taste than in Ecuador. I prefer the mora of Ecuador, but the blackberry is good and the price is right, and it is nice to have a taste of the summer in the winter.

The last picture shows our first picking. Since then we have picked many liters.

Here is more from the garden. The corn is doing well. I am using a trick that I learned in Ecuador, where I saw choklo being grow. I hill up the dirt around the stalks after they are up. They develop secondary roots and give the plant more stability. I am also letting pole beans grow up the corn.

In the second picture we are getting ready to try our first corn of the season. As you can see it is different than choklo. It is good, but I like choklo better.

We have mucho tomatoes.

Love, Pete

Aquí es más desde el jardín. El maíz está bien. Estoy usando un truco que aprendí en Ecuador, donde vi choklo siendo crecer. Me cuesta arriba la suciedad alrededor de los tallos después de que se arriba. Se desarrollan las raíces secundarias y dar a la planta una mayor estabilidad. También estoy dejando crecer el frijol el maíz.

En la segunda foto nos estamos preparando para probar nuestro primer maíz de la temporada. Como se puede ver que es diferente a choklo. Es bueno, pero me gusta choklo mejor.

Tenemos Mucho tomate.

Amor, Pete

I just wanted you to see that up in the frozen North, we can still grow some stuff. The first picture is of high bush blueberries. We got many quarts of berries this year. The next picture is of beans. The last shows green peppers. We also have several jalapeno peppers. It has been a good year for the garden.

Love, Pete
