Garden . . . take two


Grandpa says season one is about over. And that is what I think of that!



Grandma says she really doesn't need anymore tomatoes. I counted 73 jars of tomato juice, tomato salsa, tomato soup, chili sauce, spagaetti sauce, even whole tomatoes in the basement cabinet. But then I really can't count past 7 or is it 9???

Grandpa planted turnips, lettuce,  white radishes and red radishes last friday. Monday evening I saw they were already peaking through the soil. He can hardly wait for fresh lettuce from the garden.

Grandma and Grandpa need a rest after all the garden work, think I will ask them to go camping with us this weekend!

Sounds like it is time to go camping. You have had a busy garden time this year. I love how you preserve things by canning and freezing. I wish I had the energy. You'll enjoy it this winter when we have 10 inches of snow right?

I can't believe how fast Elizabeth is growing!

Have fun camping. You deserve to take a break from all the canning. I know a woman's work is never done, but now and then we deserve a little FUN!

Lizzy sure has a way with words. Our tomatoes did not do well at all this year. I think we have more to pick today, though.

Hope you had fun camping!!!
