Vegetable Garden

We planted popcorn, beets, beans, cucumbers, radishes, kohlrabi, dill, parsley, basil, oregano, fennel, thyme and tomatoes. We had a great rhubarb harvest. The garlic which was planted last October will be ready in July.

I process everything that comes out of the garden. Once you get used to the fresh taste of canned goods it is hard to buy it from the store.


July is great for picking Currants. And there is nothing more tasty than a currant pie in January.	This year a worm ate most of the leaves but left us all the berries we could handle	This is about 1/2 hour of picking and about 2 pies. We picked several days and left the rest for the birds.

This year the black raspberries were more abundant than they ever have been	Along with red raspberries from my friend Cindy lou who, and strawberries picket at Wyatt's, we put up 25 half pints of jam.	Grandma showed me how to make sun green tea. Add a little lemon or mix with lemonade and you have a great summer time, good for you drink.

Walnut Man has returned and has been busy cracking some of the billions of walnuts we have. He has fine tuned his cracker to produce 1 cup of walnuts per quarter hour. And that is an amazing feat!!
