2012- Rained last night, as soon as it dried out this morning we picked green beans. Then we canned 6 quarts and 1 pint. The beans are all producing now and should keep growing for another month so we should get enough canned for all of us. Tomorrow is farmer’s market day and we should pick tomatoes again. I love farmer’s market day, it is the only chance I get to go to town and see what is going on. Of course nothing is ever going on but it is fun just to get out and see people here I don’t even see my neighbors. Have good day.
It is raining here today too. It’s been very hot this summer. We are not use to it. Have to run the A/C a lot so we can breathe. You must have a house-ful of home-grown food now. When do you go to Fl.? Enjoy reading about the things you do. ♥
Wonderful to hear from you and know you both are well. We have had to run the A/C more this year also. We have set all kinds of records for heat and drought. This has been the hottest and driest summer on record which has made it hard for the farmers so food prices are up also. Hopefully next year will be better. Right now it is wet and cool and it feels great. We will go to FL. for Thanksgiving and then come back to plant in Feb. We will put in onions and garlic this fall so they will be growing while we are gone. Can’t waste any time! Have a great day.
