Out with the Old…

Well, the spot’s all ready to put out the pumpkins and the last run of onions.  Hoping we haven’t waited too long on the pumpkins.  Probably not.  If so, it won’t be a big loss.

Green beans coming in and I’m starting to think about that pressure canner.  Scott’s not worried about it but it makes me so nervous.  I mean, I know it’s safe, but still.  Not enough to can yet.  Hopefully I can get  up my nerve before it’s time.  But I have to say his system for tying them up has been great.  Alot easier to pick.  I almost don’t mind them any more.

Tomatoes are starting.  I missed a few of the cherries because they’ve been so tightly packed in there.  Pulled enough green ones to make pickles.  What started off as a joke has become something we enjoy.  Isn’t that just the way it goes…  We’ll have so many more than we need.  I checked the table to write down that we got our first tomatoes today, but since we had to replant them, I’m not sure what’s where.  It’s going to be a crazy summer from now on.

And then there’s the blackberries.  Bless their little hearts, they’ve gone everywhere.  I have no idea how I’ll deal with all of that.  But it’s okay.  I’m going to see about getting some different ones so I won’t be so dependent on the ones in the rocks.  Scott’s sprayed the grass, but that doesn’t help my snake phobia.
