14 nov first snow

We got a little snow last night. No accumulation to speak of but a frosting in the grill and the cold side of the compost heap

Clay

Here are three bags of clay. The settled water poured off the top, the blue and green were allowed to dry up a bit the black is pretty fresh, it's the dirt from the white bucket which (I'm pretty sure) is the dirt from the garden.

Autumn

Though the first frost have come and gone
The garden chores are not yet done
The dead plants must be removed
The seeds for next season saved
The chard and coleworts still produce
And here a radish, Spanish black.

Olive update

The ones on brine have mold on top, others are oxidizing black where the touch the air.

The ones in must are fermenting rapidly.

The ones in honey are fermenting, the honey has separated, and though they are softening they are still very bitter...

Cider

Well I haven't fermented anything in a long time. But this cider, from apples plucked by hand, ground and pressed, are bubbling along nicely now..

Olives - in oxymeli

The ones in oxymel I have developed these strange spots, perhaps where the salt was touching?

Clay process - site A

This has cleared nicely, though I think very little o this is actually usable
