Beth Selah
Monday - Produce!
Posted in Home

Our garden has been in full gear for a few weeks now!  We've been eating yellow squash, spaghetti squash, scallopped squash, zuchinni, and green beans for a while now.  Almost on a daily basis we have a couple of baskets of produce to bring in the house.

I've put up 9 pints of yellow wax bean pickles.  I'm going to begin canning green beans, too.  We only have a few tomatoes that have ripened enough to eat so far.  But, there are literally hundreds of pounds more to be ready soon.  And, they will probably all be ready at the same time!

It looks like we'll have corn on the cob by the end of this week.  Oh, YUM!  We picked two baskets of potatoes this weekend and had some with green beans.  I also made a pot of parslied potatoes last night.  MY FAVORITE!  We're picking them earlier than planned, but a gopher had a heyday in them and ate quite a bit without us knowing he had set up residence.  We have a couple more baskets to pick soon.

The okra looks like it will be ready in a week, or so.  The purple hull peas will soon need picking, too.  The onions will take a bit longer.  The garlic will be quite a while.  

Cucumbers are straggling in, but I think I have enough now to make icebox pickles.  Cucumber salad has been a hit with Hubby as the evenings have been quite hot lately.  He's hoping that I'll get a better recipe for dill pickles this year.  We haven't liked the ones I've put up in the past.  

The cantaloupe and watermelon are vining all over the place.  I can't wait to have a seed spitting contest!   

Yesterday, Hubby and I planted some sweet potato slips.  We're hoping this project works out.

Thank You, God, for our garden.
