What's Happening in The Garden...


The  garden is growing and lots of vegetables are
coming in.. Corn, tomatoes,squash, peppers,
and cucumbers.. 

The peas and butterbeans are loaded, and will be
getting ready to be picked in the next couple weeks.


Tomatoes... Oh so yummy...My kitchen
window is loaded with today's crop.

The peach trees are loaded with peaches.. We have
been eating peaches,  canning peaches, giving
away peaches, and the trees are still loaded.ha
Vegetables... oh so yummy!!

I have put up peaches in the freezer... For cobblers and
muffins.
I put peaches in the dehydrator.. Wonderful to snack on.
And for fried peach pies.

I have been really busy  this summer.. We have  been
working in the yard, putting down sod.. Planting
shrubs, flowers , etc. Plus.. the garden is coming in.
We still have figs, grapes and a few pears  to come in.
    [the pear tree is new.. so will not have many
 pears this year].

I feel so blessed with  the abundance of vegetables
and fruits.

Supper  Menu.... lima beans, squash dressing,
corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes, ribs ,cornbread,
peach cobbler.[everything from the garden, except ribs.]

Hope you and family have a Wonderful July 4 th.

    1. Thank you Carolyn. We have been having to water the garden too.. We too are having some pretty hot/humid weather. But, the beginning of summer,we got a good bit of rain, which helped..
      Hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th too.

  10. You are certainly having a productive retirement - what a great garden - lots of effort has gone into this. And all good, healthy food, unlike the processed and expensive stuff in the supermarkets - and tastes better as well :)
