Gifts from the Garden

By Dennis, on October 10th, 2010

I was outside today doing some Fall garden clean up and I was given some surprises.


This is a little orphan rose bush that I rescued from the neighbor several years ago. It usually only blooms once in the spring.

Tomato Canning Season Begins

By Karen, on August 25th, 2010

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.

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.

Preserving The Harvest

By Karen, on November 13th, 2009

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.
