Autumn is always a productive time in our home garden with lots of produce ripening, jam and sauces to make, fruits to preserve and even the odd sweet treat of toffee apples make with fresh new season apples.

- This week is the Aussie Backyard Bird Count ran by Birdlife Australia. So grab your bird book, download the app, whatever is your thing, and get out there and get counting. Birds are a critical part of our biodiversity if we don’t know what is out there how can we know what to look after? #twitcher #aussiebirdcount #birdlife #bird #biodiversity #landcare #paddocktoplateAhh the colours and patterns of silage season. One cut down, 🤞plenty more to come. Silage is #fermented pasture. We mow and collect the lush spring pasture, pack it tightly into a pit to remove as much of the oxygen as possible and let it ferment in its own juices. Once preserved like this it can last for years. It's like kimchi for cows! #pasture #fermentedfoods #fermentation #silageseason #silage

Looking really yum! What do you do with your tomatoes? Other than just eat them, I mean. We’ve been bottling them and drying them to put into olive oil.
Sounds good Sandy – lots of fresh ones eaten here plus using them in pastas. I make sauce too. I have never dried them but a friend of ours used to on her Stanley stove (the same as our trusty Stanley) – they are yummy that way!
