After a serious "Tomato hornworm" invasion we now have loads of tomatoes ripening, more beans than we know what to do with, basil, cukes, acorn squash, brussel sprouts, dill, onions (these were not great producers), beets, broccoli and one lone cauliflower plant. Good eating!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326484192966920116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-69182303833731315412011-08-10T18:30:34.968-04:002011-08-10T18:30:34.968-04:00I can remember just a few short weeks ago picking ...I can remember just a few short weeks ago picking a tomato here and there. How good those first few tomatoes were! Now, my oh my. We have tomatoes coming out of our ears! haha we can't can them fast enough. But they are still tasting mighty good! We started canning corn today. We have lots of various squash everyday. We've had some potatoes too. And of course tons of green beans. Lets see, what else...oh canteloupe is almost ready. Probably another week!

Just to learn and enjoy!<br /><br />It's the end of winter here and since we're moving I have little else but lemons to harvest. It's the "on" year so our neighbours are very pleased they can have more than the usual share. I'm saying "grrr!" inside as I know how much lemon curd, pie, lemonade and preserves I could be making. It's just bad timing.<br />xSuzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637570761992549181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-73803970611339402822011-08-09T22:33:02.535-04:002011-08-09T22:33:02.535-04:00love that photo of your boys frenching beans!
