Granny's gone and done it again

We are eating some really good onions out of the garden now too. Some are up to tennis ball size and we are thinning them so they can get more like softballs.

You can add onions to that also. I don't buy the canned tomatoes, okra, and corn though. It's always fresh or from what we freeze.

Ohh I bet that makes such a big difference . I have only had canned.

Do you grow the sweet onions?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

this is the brand I get. Also for my greens. The other brands are too hot/spicy

I know to prep the bed for onions next fall. I need to kill all the grass and weeds then. I've got a piece of tarp that is black on one side I'm going to cover it with to kill any early sprouting grass or weeds come spring. When it is time to plant I'll use some of the thing black biodegradable mulch film I have to keep them dying while the onions grow big enough they can overcome the competition.

Do you grow the sweet onions?

Yes when I can. We do use the keeper type cooking onions in the okra salad.

I've never had a hot & spicy mix that way. I may have to add some cayenne to mine when I start picking fresh peppers.

I read some time back that tomatoes would most likely be in short supply this fall. I'm trying to be prepared with a 100 quarts in the pantry and a few plants over wintered to keep fresh ones on the table.

If you are southern enough you will put it on top of black eyed peas that are being cooked from fresh. You can then stick a fork right behind the stem and eat the whole pod with one bite. It will go down faster than a baby oyster.

my ex MIL was a good cook. I loved so many of her things. The corn she would cut half of it off into a skillet then come back and scrape the ear again getting all the pulp and juices. Then she would cook it in some water and butter and I assume salt and pepper then thicken it with corn starch omg yum I also loved her Brunswick stew.She would freeze that in little containers and freeze it. We would empty her freezer pretty quick! lol

We have our on poblano peppers growing this year for our chili too. More flavor than bells but not hot like jalapeno.

I like bells but they have to be cooked. Onions too. I cant chew them
