    D'oh!  Missed it by that much...we arrive the 22nd.  Oh well, I'm sure there will continue to be some harvesting and processing to get involved with.

    Hello Derek!

    I am so glad you are coming out to Wheaton Labs!

    What are you interested in harvesting?  What kinds of preservation and processing are you wanting to do?  

    On September 29th we start Rocket Prep Week.  
    I am excited for that one.  We will be learning all about rocket mass heaters and Cob just in time for winter!

    I'm not sure whether you're trying to make me laugh or cry...we leave the 28th...sigh.  

    I started fermenting just a couple years ago, so I'm still relatively new to that and am certainly looking to improve and learn new ideas there.  I really do want to get a closer look at the solar dehydrators in action.  I'll have to remember to ask She Who Must Be Obeyed if there's anything that tickles her fancy.  We do have young apple trees that aren't regularly producing yet so if there's apple goodness going on, that would be good to learn about.  We do hope / plan to earn some meals by working with the boots.

    You can see all the harvest week shenanigans in Stephens' Boot Thread.


    "There was a rogue butternut squash up there on one of the hugels, onions, green beans, radishes, and an assortment of greens."


    Lots of rhubarb, some turned into jam, some dried in the solar food dehydrator



    For more stories, head over to Stephen's thread

    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

    There was plenty to harvest after the week was over.  The sunchokes in the GAMCOD hugel were impressive.  We sampled some of that rhubarb candy and made more (after She Who Must Be Obeyed turned some into a crisp along with some apples)...which also led to drying apples.  Hopefully Stephen will let us know how her experiment turned out - there were some more tart apples, so they also got the simple syrup treatment, then topped with cinnamon before being put in the rocket assist solar dehydrator.  We set up some sunchokes for fermentation and dried some as well.

    I really need to get my photos handled / edited so I can post about our experience last week.

    Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
