‘Scattered Showers?’ My Aunt Fanny! Looks like rain this morning in SW Wisconsin to me!

We DO need some rain, though - pretty dusty out there when I mowed earlier this week.

Scurrying to gather veggies for canning and drying today. I also got a great deal on Granny Smith and Gala Apples, so am thinking of making up Apple Pie Filling to can for fall and winter pies, and I have tomatoes chopped and ready to go for more Tomato Jam. (I’m obsessed!)

Later!

Thanks for the ping. We have finally had a few days with out rain-so I have had to water a few things this week. Coon got most of the corn.

Hubby set a trap, but didn’t notice he caught one until almost dark, so He let him loose. sigh.

I just made my new favorite-Lacto-Fermented Salsa. Such an easy way to use the tomatoes and will last in the frig for 3-4 months. Only problem is, I can’t stop eating it. LOL

Been up all night, but finally getting sleepy so I’ll catch ya’ll later.

Picture time!

One of the squash I'm testing to see if it's better than the "Tennessee Sweet Potato" that I usually grow:


A "Shark Fin" squash, which decided to commandeer some rolled-up fencing stacked nearby:


One of my pumpkins, getting closer to being ripe:


A slightly fuzzy picture of a "Bigger Better Butternut":


One day's harvest:
