The Concord grapes finally turned a lovely shade of purple last week. I managed to get to them this year before they dropped off the vine.I picked them on the Sunday, made them into juice on Monday and then worked on making jelly the rest of the week. I planted a second Concord vine this spring, but this new one is seedless. I can only hope to eat more fresh when that one comes into its own in the next decade or so.
After I picked the grapes, I zipped through the remains of the vegetable garden again. As you can see, the summer squash is still producing. And the cayenne peppers were still turning. We still haven't had a hard frost (last year it hit on Oct. 23), so the plants keep chugging along. The plants look pathetic, but I can't really complain about fresh vegetables in October, can I?
