Time to harvest the grapes!
We’re not ready to start a vineyard yet, but we got twice as many as last year. I think the grapes cross pollinated. I bought two of those dried out vines in a bag the home stores sell, cheap enough to give it a shot. One was white, the other red. […]
Even if tomatoes are fruits. On toast with a bit of Miracle Whip is better!
I’m going to be busy this afternoon! The heirlooms are starting to produce, but I have no complaints about the volume of regular red ‘maters we’re getting this year. If I could figure how to get yields like this every season, […]
Here’s the latest round of harvest from the garden!
Let’s see- I went outside to get some potatoes. I pulled up 1 1/2 plants and got about a dozen potatoes. They’re redskin variety. Four are huge and the rest are smallish and will made nice additions to salad. There’s about a dozen tomatoes- most of […]
Sunday is pancake day around here. All other days we have cereal or toast, but on Sunday, I like to make some sort of real breakfast. Today, Pyrate said I shouldn’t make pancakes because Vera couldn’t have any! Hello? Puppy dog- not supposed to eat pancakes anyhow! Well, as it transpired, Mike slept in. The […]
Tada! Nothing like having a blog to spur me on to taking pictures of the canned goodness: ON the left there is the “Squash Pickles”, a first time effort. It’s diced zucchini, one random cucumber I found this morning, chopped onion and a little green pepper. The syrup is different because this one is more […]
Ever notice they come up with “new” vegetables all the time? A couple of years ago, I started seeing orange-yellow cauliflower. It tastes the same, it just looks like somebody already put the cheese sauce on it! The agronomists of the world need to consider the zucchini, known in some places as a courgette, or […]
The echinacea (echinaceas?) have started blooming. I think they look like happy hula girls!
Not quite the “first fruit” Because I snitched some squash last week and chopped it up in a salad. A small harvest yesterday. Took that nice big cabbage in and used about 2/3 of it for coleslaw. Our things aren’t quite organic, because we really have a war with the insects. There […]
“but this is too pale” As I warned you, I’m trying out different themes. Something with a bit of color; a warm color, like peach-that’s what I need! Or with lovely fantasy art, like these fishies by Royce McClure: http://www.haiks-inc.com/product_images/HI-ROYCE-C6280-BRITE.JPG
This haze gray is just a try on. Also, the font is a bit dim- […]
Our local library offers the best service ever! I can search their catalog from home and if I find a book I want, type in my card number and reserve it. If it’s a bestseller or fairly new, it automatically puts me in the queue for the book and I check a box indicating the […]
