I thought this looked particularly good. I will let you know how it turns out . It would be great severed with fresh corn and and a salad with tomatoes from the garden!

The last of the tomatoes will be picked tomorrow! Maybe I’ll can some more salsa,not sure right now.  I have to get out and pick corn tomorrow as well. I’ll be taking some to Julia’s when we go on Thursday to see Zack before he starts Pre-k. 

  Love to all,

And The Canning Continues…..

 

 

    Our corn is coming in by the droves! I have put 48 more ears in the freezer. I wish I had tried putting the mineral oil on the tops on the ears before the worms started eating it!  I hate worms!

    I made up a batch of pesto and froze it in small batches. I am not real pleased with the results. It seems to discolor some when frozen. But it tastes okay!

    I canned 2 quarts and 4 pints of marinara sauce. This is the first time I have tired this ,I hope the end result turns out well.

    I need to get more jars for the grape jam,as it will be juicing  time  soon!

   We have had the coolest weather this year. Not at all hot and muggy. I think it has been too cool for the tomatoes and possibly to wet.

   I am thinking about pickling some jalapeno peppers. I have plenty, but I’m not sure I would like them.  I’m going to look into it  and see what it entails. I have to do something with them though.!

A Good Week !

The corn is coming in ! We have put up 85 ears of corn so far!

I  do it the easy way! All i do is cut off the ends and then check for worms (ugh) and then put it in gallon freezer bags. So easy and less time consuming.

 

I wish this is the way our tomato plants looked!

However, ours are a little bedraggled looking!  I think i have gotten just about all of the tomatoes,maybe 20 or so left, sad!

I hope to be able to get some at the farmers market to can.

The sunflowers are HUGE !  I have planted the colossal,and some that are russet color and some that are almost black! They bare gorgeous!  I hope to be able to use the seeds from the largest ones and use the others for drying and decorating.

 

 

This is what our grapes look like now.

 

 

This is what I hope they look like in about 3 weeks!  Then it is Juice time. Last year I was able to freeze 10 gallon sized bags of juice and pulp for jelly and drinking. It was better than Welch’s !

 

We have purchased a Massey Ferguson garden tractor with implements! Hopefully this will make Steve’s work easier !

Well that is all for now!  Going to go on a trip to our sons for a few days,so the farm is on it’s own for a while.

Latter….

Corn,Corn ,Corn!

I have now put 30 ears of corn up in the freezer from our garden!

It is really coming along. The jalapenos are taking over the world. I canned 14 pints of jalapeno

jelly,and I have 9 plants full of them.

I hope to be able to buy some canning tomatoes so I can put some up for soups .

The sun flowers are huge! I hope I can use the seeds from them ,not sure how to go about it but I'll figure it out.

Stuff Happening

Well, let the canning begin!

I have canned 27 quarts of green beans and 9 pints,6 pints of salsa. I have frozen squash,broccoli,jalepeno peppers, cilantro. I am going to be canning jalepeno jelly ! The tomatoes are coming in nicely , but the plants are dying off. The sun flowers are beautiful! I have never grown them.

The grapes are doing very well I expect them to be ready by the end of the month. The corn is coming along,picked 14 ears today. I hope to have the freezer full !
