Autumn Garden Produce

All orgainc and oh so tastey too!

Most of these veggies originated in Central America, but do wonderfully here on Flores.




Here is an island variety of hot pepper, a melon pear and long beans.




Chayote was first domesticated in Mexico, where the fruit is used in both raw and cooked forms. When cooked, chayote is usually handled like summer squash, and it is generally lightly cooked to retain the crisp flavor.



Hungarian Wax peppers and Cayenne.

Capsicum is an awesome winter buzz, plus it clears the sinus passages when allergies stike!





These are Thai style eggplants. Very firm and tastey.

Preserving the Goodness of Summer


Konswan has been hard at work, pickling, stewing and fermenting all manner of vegetables and fruits.



Every year our garden produces more as we learn the seasons of our little valley.




This winter we will be getting all the summer goodies along with the fresh winter veggies!
