Gardening Update

My garden at home is flourishing...
Watermelons are coming on
Tomatoes are about done for this season
Beets, corn, and cucumbers are about ready to harvest
Peppers are going crazy

My land garden is giving me tomatoes and the melons are coming on also. My corn is struggling a little but surviving.

I am excited as I prep my ground an plant my cantalops and pumpkins for the fall harvest.

Canningpalooza.....is that a word???

Hi-

WOW!! Where do I begin???

First my week began by making Applesauce. I had a bunch of apples off a friends tree, so I made applesauce. Then on Tuesday I taught a strawberry jam class for my ward and a couple friends. Then Wed not much except clean up the mess from Mon and Tue. Then on Thursday I made banana bread and muffins, dehydrated some herbs and prepared for Friday.

My friend Erin will be coming down on Friday and we will canning more stuff.
We will be doing:
Vegetables
Strawberry Jam
Mixed Berry Jam
Grape Jelly
Applesauce
Jalopenos

I love this time of year, but it is also a very busy time.

Canning Hamburger today

Thanks to a water leak in my ice maker I will be canning 30 lbs of hamburger today. I am excited because I needed to do it, just been procrastinating.

I will also be doing 40 lbs of chicken an Friday. It is a good week for my food storage meat supply.

**On a side note, we will be getting Cherries down out fo Utah in about 3 weeks. We should get prices later this week. We are featuring the Cherry Pitter for 21.99 ($3 off) and a couple other items to go with the cherries and other fruit we will be getting throughout the summer.
