Ah, the joy, the satisfaction, the aching back and legs. Today marks the first round of tomato canning from the garden. A small batch, 10 1/2 quarts. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="410" caption="Tomato Puree"] [/caption]
I hate it while I’m doing it, but I love it when I can grab a big jar out of the pantry on a snowy winter day. Onward…to the Advil bottle. It’s been forever since I’ve posted, I know (I know!). Busy summer and busy fall. We are finishing up the canning…just apples and squash left. I’ll post more on the garden totals next time. A really good harvest this year. I am making it a goal this year to update both this and my And Another Thing blog on a regular basis.
Putting in the garden. Some of the plants got a little nipped by a rogue frost last week, but seem to have survived. We have doubled the size of the garden this year. The DR Power Tiller has made this possible. We have sections of the garden area that are very heavy in clay. I don’t think we could have increased the size in time for plant with our walk behind tiller. I’ll post pictures later, but here’s a run down of what is planted in the ‘big’ garden so far: Peas and Beans Alaska peas (6) California Black Eyed Cow Peas (9) Kentucky Wonder Bean (11) Misc.
