These three Trumpeter Swans landed on their trip down south. Also Vikki saw a Mountain Goat just behind the cabin on the hill.

It takes Vikki about two weeks to store or can and put it all away in the crawl space. Bryan had already dug up most of the potatoes and washed them and put them down stairs.
The Roma Tomatoes are dried on the wood stove and when pliable put in Olive Oil.
The Chives are cut and dried and used all winter in food like Bannock with cheese, or soups.
I am envious of your potato and carrot patch! This was my first year gardening since we moved to the Yukon. I got 40lbs of potatoes in a relatively small spot. I cannot wait to see how much I get next year in my expanded spot! My carrots took quite the hit thanks to some sort of small rodent; it went under the dirt and snacked away on my carrots!!
