Pickin and Canning!

Just so you don't think I'm slackin, we have been busy in the garden for the last month or so picking all manner of goodness. This week I wanted ya'll to see some of the final product.




This is just a sample, my last entry showed the purple hull peas, we also got a good deal of corn, and the cucumbers are rolling in too.  the top shelf is a load of canning we did, jalapeno jelly, pickled banana peppers, dill pickles and what-have-you!




The tomatoes are mostly green because of a chicken massacre, the tomatoes got it, not the chickens...
So in order to salvage some of this round we had to pick em greenish, that's ok chow chow, fried green tomatoes, relish, you get the idea!


Here you can see a boat load of cucumbers, some strait neck squash, green bell peppers, oh and that butternut squash, my nephew Gavin picked that one, he was on a pickin roll!

So anyway that's where we have been, its tough work makin your own way thru life, eatin of the fatta the land, but we like it.

See ya Later
