It has been such a busy Spring and Summer. We fought nutsedge in garden until we gave in and decided to buy our produce. You know it is a lot easier to just buy in the long run, although I miss growing my own.....maybe next year.
Canning, Freezing, putting away fruits and veggies can be somewhat tiring but it is a labor of love.
You do have to preserve them and it does seem at times that all crops are ready at the same time.....whew.....But aren't they beautiful? Don't you just love wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables? They make for the most beautiful pictures.
Picked strawberries
Made our favorite Strawberry-Banana Jam
made Strawberry Pizza
Found wonderful green beans from a farmer down the road.
The most wonderful tomatoes can be found in Summerton, SC at
Flowers Farm
Picked blueberries at Sally Hill
Tried to keep chickens alive with this heat. Sadly I lost two Wheaten Marans Hens, the ones that lay the dark brown eggs...loved the chickens, Mandy, and Miranda...love the eggs need those to cook wonderful delicious foods.
Last night I put up five bushels of butter beans and two bushels of corn.
Needless to say today is a blur...
Thank you God for your blessings and thank you for this day.
Kitchen table full of green lima "butter beans" and "colored butter beans"
Melons and beautiful corn
I intend to go back to Flowers Farm and get pics to do blog it is one beautiful operation.
Wonderful people.
Hope you enjoy this post and take care.
Dolly needs a vacation...happy Summer to you all.
