Gardens This Year
Not sure if it has been like this ALL over the state or not, but those of you with gardens, fruit trees, etc.: Have your gardens been bearing like there is no tomorrow?
I have canned beans, tomatoes (juice, whole, spaghetti sauce, salsa), squash, apples, figs, frozen okra, corn, purple hulls, zipper peas like there is no tomorrow. Our apple trees are hanging full as well as the pears. The pecan trees have clusters of five pecans all over the place (of course they won't be ready until November up here). Can't wait to see what the greens do this fall.
I have given vegetables away like crazy all summer. What's it like in your neck of the garden?

I use them in lots of my baking and love them in my chicken salad too!
Ok- you just brought up a topic I would have avoid before WLS but now I absolutely LOVE. Before I lost weight, I never had the energy to garden, it's hard work. But this year, we did a garden and well, WOW, it is a bumper crop esp. on my tomatoes. Now I am hooked on it. I cannot wait till my kids get to have their own pumpkin patch this year. Those pumpkin vines are going crazy and started traveling out of the garden area and down the fence of our yard! This rain is just encouraging it too.
It has been a great year to grow!
