What to Buy, Grow, and Eat in November
November. It’s just about the end of the year and here we are, still trying to make the most of what we have left. I’m guessing that you’ve begun to think about your holiday shopping….Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and all of those fun things. If you are making homemade gifts this year, you may have already started on things. (Good for you!)

What are you buying, growing, and eating this month?
Harvested the last of our outdoor herb garden (sage and parsley), then dried it and stored it in jars for using over the winter. Sadly we wont be growing indoors this winter since the kitties seem to want to climb into the plants and eat them. Perhaps we will do vertical storage next spring if it is affordable. Been making my own croutons (recipe on pinterest from Pioneer Woman), and using my smaller crockpot for homemade applesauce to use up an influx of late season apples from a neighbor. Now it’s onto making homemade Christmas gifts and shopping online for the little ones in our family. (I buy gifts for my kids as well as my nieces and nephews. The adults in our family either do experience gifts or exchange homemade items.)
