I should have taken and posted pics. when this garden was at its peak. Bill,Mom and I have been harvesting,shelling,canning for abt. 3weeks now.
WE lost all of the beets because of deer and rabbits. The heat really did a number on the squash,cucumbers,eggplants. We did get enough of cucumbers to make over a dozen pints of bread&butter pickels. Still picking blackeyes, Tomatoes,Okra. Now that okra seems to like the hot weather some of it is almost as tall as me and I am 5'4". I love fryed or boiled okra. We bought an electric fence for next year. Bill says that won't keep the rabbits out. But the deer will leave it alone after one shock that will not harm. Some of the garden looks like weeds, looks are deceiving. The green vine with purple blooms are sweet potatoes. next to it is the red or regular potatoes, these are abt. ready to dig.not the sweet but the other. The black eyes are just outstanding they refuse to quick producing.
I have 7 Blackberry Plants, Got them last yr. and put them in the ground. They still have maybe a quart left to get ripe. I have put up in the freezer 5 gallons of them. Soooo Good.
Between the garden,house,husband and being a caregiver for my Mom. I have been checking in sporadicalyI didn't believe I would ever get my attic window sashing sewn,mitered. But HURRAH :D :D I have 18 more to do and I can start sewing them together.
Here are some pics. of garden and canning.
