With all my traveling, the garden has become more jungle-like than garden-like, but I like it with crazy sunflowers growing, the pickles climbing the huge dill plants and up my tomato sticks! The carrots have grown to massive proportions but alas some ugly bug has eaten my cabbage. The pigs will be happy to eat wormy cabbage, but not I!
My potato plants have died back and it was a little tricky finding all the burrowed potatoes, but with the help of 5 dogs, 3 cats, I found, I hope, all my red, purple and white potatoes! Peter, I and drop-in guests will be set.
Next, I went to my onion “trough” and pulled a winter’s supply of purple onions. I used one this morning in my hash browns and these have to be the best onions yet! Also, I pulled my little green onions that got a little too shaded by a humongous, ginormous sunflower! Dried green onions add color and flavor in the cold winter months.
Lastly, I pulled the remaining carrots and surprised I was! Colors of all sorts and nice, big, meaty carrots! I’ll be cooking them and vacu-sealing to save for winter.
In a different post, I showed you want I did with my green tomatoes. I am waiting on my pickling cucumbers to finish so I can get to canning!
Remember, in whatever you are doing, enjoy the experience, make a memory, stop and breathe the air, look around and truly embrace your inner cowgirl!
