I did not accomplish any “projects” this week. I just did a bit of this and that. When I was younger, if you needed shredded cheese for a recipe, your only option was to grate it yourself. When the (more expensive) bags of shredded… Continue Reading “A LITTLE BIT CHEESY”
One of the new things I grew in the garden this year was Time Bomb Peppers from Hoss Tools. They are said to have a Scoville rating between green peppers and jalapeno peppers. When I first started picking them, I tested one to check… Continue Reading “PICK A PECK OF PEPPER POWDER”
Last weekend I told you I was done with watering, and I was leaving it to Mother Nature. Mother Nature didn’t water either. Nevertheless, when I went to clear more plants this weekend, lo and behold I picked another two gallons of tomatoes, peppers,… Continue Reading “THEY WON’T STOP”
This has been another hot week with no rain. Every night after work, the only thing I could accomplish was to water the garden and pick tomatoes and peppers and cucumbers. Water & pick, water & pick, water & pick. The only problem with… Continue Reading “WATER & PICK”
In addition to the plums I got at the Farmers Market, I got a small quantity of peaches. I didn’t need any peaches for canning this year as I still have some on the shelf from last year’s processing. I’ve been wanting to learn… Continue Reading “ON TO THE PEACHES”

After making pizza sauce, I had six or eight cups of cherry tomatoes to take care of. These were destined to become tomato powder. About half of them were the ones I put in the freezer before leaving on vacation, so they were, as… Continue Reading “THAT DIDN’T WORK AS EXPECTED”
I had plans for the weekend: go to the Farmers Market to get winter garden starts and some produce for preserving throughout next week. That didn’t happen. I was tired once Friday arrived, no less tired when I got up on Saturday, so I… Continue Reading “Lazy-ish Weekend”
Help! What do I do with all these cucumbers? When I was out watering tonight, every time I turned around, I found another cucumber to pick! I didn’t remember planting cucumbers, so was a bit bewildered when I found two in the garden back… Continue Reading “WHERE ARE THEY ALL COMING FROM?”
