It's About Time!
So myself, just like all our gardens seem to be running a little behind and not producing much as we would like. However after catching up on some blog posts this morning, because I am such a slacker, it seems like a few of us are finally getting tomatoes! I am thrilled to say that yesterday was the first harvest worth more than a darn 'onsey twosey' picking:
I was able to can up 9 Qts of Stewed Tomato, 1 batch of sun-dried cherry tomato, 2 Qts of Green Beans and some more corn as well. I took some "Stella-r" (wink, wink) advice and tried a little experiment with a recipe my mom grew up with called Harvard Beets. It's basically a thickened pickled beet. And I canned them up, gave them to dear ole Mom, and they really turned out wonderful! Thank you Stella, for the encouragement!
And ya know too, I just wanted to give you guys some proof, that you can put lipstick on a Pig and you can clean up a Pig Pen:
We had a wedding this weekend...note the jeans and raccoon eyed suntan. Ah, whatchya gonna do? And like any good redneck, of course we had to stop on the way home to pick up a load.
Hope you all are having a great day!

There you are, was wondering what you were up to. So you are getting some tomatoes. Hooray!! I hope blight stays away. I have heard of a truckers tan and a farmers tan, but we need a name for Pig Pens tan. Anyone?

ReplyDeleteHave you ever noticed that at summer weddings everyone looks kinda like a flower? All sun tanned, decked out in bright colors and just all squeeky-clean looking? (Or is that just me?)
ReplyDeleteAH ya clean up so nice, lovely couple. ya would think me being a arm gal and outside all the time I would have a decent tan, but gosh all i gots is a farmers tan too. I am gonna have to find time to get some kinda tan before I go to Vegas next week.
