Tip of the iceberg


Hubby and I spent an hour in the garden today, simply harvesting.  After an hour at near 90 degrees and high humidity we called it quits and brought all of our bags inside.  We had barely made a dent.  Tonight I will blanch and freeze broccoli, and maybe blanch and peel tomatoes.  The cukes and beans can wait til tomorrow.  And the mongo zucchini will make the chickens happy.  Happy chickens lay happy eggs.

Wow, I'm amazed you have broccoli with all those hot summer veggies! What variety do you grow? Everything looks fantastic and you are going to have a busy weekend and eat well LOL!

I lust after your tomatoes!

Mr. H -- Thank you!

Erin -- We grew two varieties this year, Packman and DeCiccio. Both have sent up plenty of side shoots after the first big head is cut.

Mama Pea -- I lust after your new pantry!

Really? You found chicken eggs in your garden? They really are roaming far afield these days,...!
