I don’t get a chance to post often, but do want to thank you and all the posters, especially the ones who post pictures. This yearI wished I new how, but will have to wait until the grandchildren visit to learn, as I had never seen anything like how my potato patch bloomed . It looked like I was growing flowers. In fact, the whole garden is looking pretty good, although we could use a nice soaking rain, about now.

Except my peppers, which obviously don’t like where I put them this year. :). Lesson learned.

I did pick my first ripe tomato today. The rest are still green as grass, although I have a good number so far.

Right now, I’m canning beans, 50 pts. so far and lots more to go. :)

I save reading this list as a “treat” at the end of the day.

Thank you for the kind words!

Jealous of your beans! I’m quite behind this season; I’ll be canning well into October this year.

Since I’m a glutton for punishment, it’s almost time for me to put in beets, lettuces, spinach and radishes for a fall crop. Spring crops hated our ‘straight to HOT’ Spring. :(
