End August harvest



Weather has cooled off since the heavy rain in mid August, plants are happier in this more comfortable warm sunny temperature. A lot of veg are maturing now, there will be work to do to preserve them, on top of eating, of course.

 
green soy bean
Harvested all the green soy bean, they are fast turning too mature and lack the sweetness of a young bean. They are blanched and frozen.



Tomatoes are semi-dried, first remove skin then cut into slices, to be frozen when ready.

 
beetroot
Beetroots are sliced to be fermented raw, in 1.5% brine, usually keep at room temperature until the preferred sourness (for me around a week for a mild taste) then transfer to the fridge to slow down the process while consuming it.
