No more garden this year

It's a really windy day but I got outside to do some work. Had some carrots and few other things which had survived bravely til this point. But had a couple of light frosts and hard freeze coming this week. Besides, whole thing was looking trashy.

Dug up rest of the carrots, which were all small. Onions weren't formed so planed a couple inside, see how they do. Btw, I am using existing light for the indoor plants. Took down all the trellises to save the netting. Most of the posts broke. Maybe I'll try painting them before setting next year. I'm still glad the netting held up.

Finally washed the Halloween stuff off the front window yesterday and painted a Christmas tree in it's place. Daughter was helping until her friend came along. Oh well.

Cooked the pumpkins which were big and ripe enough last night. Then made my first gluten free pumpkin pie. Used crushed corn flakes, couple tablespoons of rice flour, arrow root, sugar and melted butter. Then just pressed it in place like a graham cracker crust. Cooked as normal and let it cool overnight. Tried it this morning. It came out great for a first try! Think less rice flour next time.

For green bean casserole, have to make my own onions. Going to try corn flour and potato flakes mixed with vegetable oil and bake. If that doesn't work, back to corn flakes instead of flour. Of course, stuffing will be pure cornbread stuffing. Just a little because kiddo doesn't like stuffing.

Still have things to do today and work tonight.. I hope.
