We had to tote all these peas in and out of the hotel room to keep them cool.
I had lots of little pea workers. They are all now blanched and in the freezer.
I also blanched and froze okra for winter stew.
Today I am hoping to can some pickles; I am just having a hard time finding the needed mix without driving to "town."
I wish we were neighbors, then we could team up!
ReplyDeleteWant to move closer? You are beyond a garderner - your're practically a farmer! (That's a compliment.)

I wish you were closer. I need you to come back for a 2nd haul. i am afraid it might go bad and i cant handle that thought when i think of all the hard work & prayer that went into this garden....especially me being 5 mths pregnant & out there in the blazing sun working it. i am going to shell peas & lima beans tonight & can tomatoes & make pickles tomorrow & the next few days. i think there is about 20 watermelons ready to be picked. oh that doesnt even include the corn. i think out of the 2 - 5 gallon buckets full of tomatoes i picked today i told clay i was taking 15 to the karate soke - Scott & he said "dont take them all because people at work have been asking." i just laughed. he hasnt a clue what i did today & then there will be probalby 2 more 5 gallon buckets full tomorrow. i'm totally not worried about enough. now is the prime season. oh did i mention the cantaloupe are just about ready & they will all come in about in the same 3 weeks. i'm so tired and could cry from the work with Jesus Bible camp/vbs this week in the mornings & with karate every evening. but one highlight.....Clay is at Lowe's getting my new refrigerator. that makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Momma of 5 and I get excited about produce too! We get a big basket delivered to our house once a week from a local farm for a really great price. It's like Christmas when I get my basket every week! I can't wait to see what I'm getting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful abundance of food. You have a beautiful family.
