Well, as I sit here this morning, I am again canning more pickles. Today's flavor is bread and butter pickles. I am trying a few different flavors to see which I like the best, then I will know what I want to continue to make in the future. Actually, I probably will continue to make all the flavors, as I am not sure what flavor my child will like the best.
The harvest is in full swing here, as I am getting a bit out of my garden. To be honest, my garden isn't doing as good as I thought it would. My peas are spotty, and we have resorted to just eating them straight off the vine. My daughter gets a kick out of being able to pick them and eat them herself.
My corn I started about 2 weeks later than most people, so as some of the corn around here is tasseled out...mine is not. My chili peppers are doing great. Them I am having a great go at. Unfortunately, my green bell peppers....well, let's just say I am glad the farmers market isn't far away.
My zucchini is producing just enough for me. I am glad I have what I do...no more, no less. My acorn squash is going to be coming out of my ears...LOL Oh well.
As for my cucumbers, I am getting enough to pickle, and my tomato plants are full, and starting to ripen. I am a bit disappointed with them, as I thought that my fruit would be bigger, but I have a lot, so I will be able to start canning my salsa soon as well. I also want to try corn relish this year....I like corn relish, corn salsa...whatever you want to call it. I have liked it when I tried it before...I think I am going to try making some of my own. I had thought about zucchini relish, but I think I am going to keep it simple this year. I don't want to go overboard.
That is what is happening at our place. =)
