I finally finished reading your book and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. I'm a recent widow of 13 months and live on a very small retirement check but finally saved up enough to get it. Have you thought of compiling your recipes into a cookbook? After all these years of people saying how good my home cooking, baking and my catering business was I've decided to try and give my hand at doing mine and my late mother's (1994) recipes. She was an excellent cook and baker and when us kids went into school she got a job at the school cafeteria until my father retired. She started teaching me how to cook at the age of seven and I had to stand on a chair 🪑 to reach the stove top 🤣🤣. I remember all of those memories.

Love ya lady. This year and your pause moments made me realize how much we had been treating our current home like a pass through zone because what we truly want God to give us is a small farm. We run the church garden ministry to feed our community healthy foods and we had spent the whole summer treating our house very much like a hotel in certain areas. It’s made us dedicate to a happy and well functioning home for everyone, figuring strategies for next year, and dedicating to living each phase of life like the blessing it is. Thanks Jess and Jeremiah

re ginger facts: I'm from Hawaii, where dozens of species of ginger grow wild outside everywhere. Your ginger is not awapuhi ginger (which is Zingiber zerumbet); ginger from the store, edible ginger, is Zingiber officinale. It is normal for all gingers to bloom, when they are happy---and yours is obviously so happy : ) ! Just like other rhizome plants, like irises, you can end up with too many, so, even tho to some people it can seem like heresy, you can divide, repot, compost the extra, and so on to have it forever. (BTW, "awapuhi" is a Hawaiian word, pronounced ah-vah-POO-hee). Thanks for everything!

We’ve been unseasonably warm here on Cape Cod as well. This is the best fall garden I’ve ever grown. After Thanksgiving we will cool down, and actually get our first hard frost. I’ll get the frost fabric out to protect the lettuce a bit, the rest will be fine. Omg, I look at volunteers a scrappy friends and generally let them be. Certain plants I leave for curiosity just to see what happens. It is how I first came to harvest Swiss chard seeds, I was fascinated watching it flower and go to seed. I now have more of their seeds than I can use in a decade! Nice tour!

I have not put any effort into clearing it out as in the grey gloom and drizzle it is amazing to look out my window and see bright yellow marigolds, Feverfew snapdragons, calendula, kale and happy birds feasting on the heads of the still standing sunflowers! It is very untidy but just like you I am not about to pull it out before it is ready to give up the ghost!

Hey Jess! I wouldn't worry too much about your horseradish leaves changing shape. And I don't think they are crossed with anything either I grew some in a container for the first time this year (mostly to use the leaves in my ferments, the tannin keeps veggies crisper, just like grape or oak leaves) and I got super curious (and a little worried) when I noticed the leaf shape changing this fall. Wasn't sure if they were maybe rootbound or something. But, after some research, I found an article from the International Journal of Vegetable Science that said that, although scientists are not sure why the leaf morphology of horseradish varies with the seasons, it's entirely normal for the leaves to present as laminate (ovate, paddle-shaped) during the summer and then change to pinnate (divided, fern-like) as they approach dormancy in the fall. From what I understand, they should start putting on the 'typical' laminate leaves again next spring.
