And, hubby has been building more raised beds to grow even more. I hope we can have half the green thumb and luck that you do. :-)Acorn to Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334558675705027610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-83007274954251007662014-07-23T21:08:50.695-04:002014-07-23T21:08:50.695-04:00Well, obviously I should have planted MY squash in...Well, obviously I should have planted MY squash in a manure pile! You'd laugh to see the size of mine (squash, not manure pile) compared to yours.<br /><br />Your garlic is done drying??! Heck, I just today cut the scapes off mine.<br /><br />And let's face it . . . summer DOES indeed go by faster than any other time of year.

Or any other cooking when it's 90 degrees and humid. I try and do my canning early in the morning, when it's the coolest.

You say you have plenty of beans and cucumbers.......I have the same issues :-) .......really not issues, I've been canning and having a blast. I'm wondering if an outdoor kitchen is something we need to push a little further here on our homestead. I use the gas stove outside to help with canning but don't have the sink or area to work.<br />The best type of raised bed to plant is just pure manure, lol.....<br /><br />Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-42298470738488869352014-07-23T14:59:10.308-04:002014-07-23T14:59:10.308-04:00Michelle - Don't be surprised if a box arrives...Michelle - Don't be surprised if a box arrives at your doorstep.

Which, by the way, is probably lurking right around the corner. It's only a week more of July. How the heck did that happen?????????Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
