Pinging the list. Have a great weekend everyone. God Bless.

We got an inch of rain last night and another half inch a couple nights ago. Was badly needed. I need to get out to the garden and see if the fall greens I planted have sprouted. Mrs. Augie made a couple gallons of salsa earlier in the week and I’m still not tired of BLT’s for supper. LOL

We've been dry here, too, and it started raining last night. My rainbarrel overflows.

I harvested the peanuts, and the yield was lower than I wanted because of the lack of rain over the last month, but I have peanuts to make peanut butter with.

Next year, as with my tobacco, I'll be planting more.

I opened up some land that is mostly/partial shade to grow my tobacco in next year. The plants that were at the shady end of the garden produced more, and better quality tobacco.

Tomatoes in the small garden are blooming, and pretty happy with the rain last night and today. I should have fall tomatoes before too long.

Equinox is Sunday, and I'll be starting my fall garden stuff inside.

We are FINALLY getting some runoff rain in central Texas. Over 5” at home and 8”+ in the hill country. All that will end up in Lake Travis which is over 60 feet below full.

Just got our tomato starter sets this afternoon.....in our desert, they're usually available by September 1st.

We should be in peak harvest time for Super Bowl Sunday salsa-making.

I decided to see how my sugar beets did as a regular root vegetable. The answer is: OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

They’re sweet and beet-y and delicious. I’m adding them to my list of favorite veggies. This time I just cleaned and roasted one of the little ones in the oven. I have 2 bigger ones and a few more little ones. Next, I might try using them for a sweet potato cobbler or something.

So many possibilities . . .
