The falling leaves from the five oak trees heralded autumn in the garden. A clear indication that we will soon have a garden that will be stark and empty, except for some citrus fruit and healthy crops of winter vegetables.
In autumn, we had abundant pickings of pears, apples, quinces, guavas, pomegranates, brinjals and other vegetables. The abundance of the garden could be shared with friends and family. We are focusing on restoring and completing some outstanding garden projects and that meant less time for preserving fruit and vegetables.

By sharing our harvest with friends and
family, we in return, could experience a wider variety of innovatively processed
fruit and vegetables. We gave away fresh fruit and vegetables and in return we
received jellies, preserves, jams, and fruit butters.
