What did you do in the garden today?

Just soaked some berseem clover and tossed it around the pasture. Fingers crossed that some of it germinates before the birds or ants get it all... No rain expected till the weekend but the ground is still saturated so

Same... Lemonade is my go-to drink every day behind coffee. And not that Countrytime crap but REAL Lemonade. Throw in some fresh fruit and... View attachment 3308752

There is a spineless variety (Burbank), but it still has glochids.

Salt is not too hard to wash out. They got a ton of rain too after the surge. It sounds like the wind did more damage overall, a lot of people used tractors and ratchet straps to upright trees that fell over. The trees that didn't just snap, of course.

Hi thought so but it has been a while. Thanks!

Only had about 20 kids yesterday, oh well, more candy for us! I've got the last batch of fresh tomato sauce going on the stove and a big container of green and not completely green tomatoes that'll be made into jam tomorrow. I also pick all the rest of the peppers, I think I'll can them in half pints for cooking over the winter. I actually had a bigger crop than I'd expected, these are just my final picking.

I'm tempted to can the serranoes in 1/2 cup jars, I love them in refried beans.

Here's the tomatoes:

Here's the marmalade that suddenly hit 220:

And here's our sweet girl:

Your peppers are so pretty! I usually cut mine up and freeze in ziplocks. That way I can shake out as much as I need for a recipe. The hot ones are really easy to work with this way. Small ones I just throw in whole. Of course I don’t have any shelf stable peppers canned either.

Not in the garden but heck better to look at.

Now if you could only teach those chickens how to take their dust baths where you need the fence posts dug
