Good morning gardeners. I got so much accomplished yesterday, but now a little worn out. I finally made some Italian bread, tomorrow I'm planning on making some sourdough loaves. My friend came over to pick up my little freezer and he brought some tomatoes. I have enough very ripe ones to make sauce again today. I think after this batch of sauce I will likely make tomato juice with the remainder of the tomato harvest. I was happy to pick some green beans this morning with the usual batch of tomatoes. And, I think I finally got the last cucumber. LOL! The two large butternut squashes are ripening nicely. There are four more smaller ones that are very green but there is still time for them to develop more and ripen. I have a few more bell peppers nearing picking size also. I've done so much more canning this year than last year so I am rethinking my storage for the jars. I think your beehive is so pretty @WthrLady. Around here the hives that are visible are the plain white boxes surrounded by electric fencing and heavy duty chain link. It's the only way to keep the bears out your hives here. Have a great day everyone.

Here the big hives clusters are well hidden, surrounded by fencing and security cameras. It's the only way to keep the idiots out.

Schnitz pie for the oven today I think.

We had heavy condensation overnight, so we need a few hours of a good stiff wind and some sun and maybe the baling guy will come today so I can get this hay in storage. SICK of this project already!

I got an incredible amount of work done yesterday, but now I'm sore today. I shouldn't stomp around bare foot on concrete for hours. Hips, back, and ankles are all complaining loudly. I am about to shut them up with a tylenol.

Going to call soon to see if the fabric shop in town in open today. Maybe work on cleaning out the workshop a little. Maybe.

Picked, blanched, and frozen a half pound of green beans. Planted 6 Draconia Spikes along a fence line. ( Clearanced at Walmart for 50 cents each). They are a decorative grass. I have 4 more to plant at the bottom of the property. I'm putting them places I can't get to with my mower!
Getting ready to start on the Cherry tomato and corn salsa.
Brought in some more partially ripe cherry tomatoes.

All of my tomatoes are smaller this year. Usually early girl and better boys are the size of my fist, not this year - pool balls at best.

Temp is in the 90s and the dew point is 76 degrees. Nasty out. Instead of a pie, I made hard butterscotch.

Craving molasses lately. LOL. I miss callar and bowser butterscotch, so I made some.

Waiting on the hay guy.

we where sitting at 80 yesterday cooled a bit but still very warm Do not really mind it as we will go the state fair in a few days I think Thursday

 

[WthrLady]

89 with dewpoint df 79 degrees. It was revolting, which means of course, my hay guy showed up!

So Dh spent 3 hours in that putting up all the bales. So that chore is done until next August.

Made butterscotch today. Awesome.

Boys got into a huge battle. Had to distract them with cold water rinse from the well hose.

But here they are with mouthfull of green ammunition.
