I found it in the new Ball canning and preserving book. Then oddly enough someone posted it on tiktok so I bought a fresh pineapple to give it a go. I love it! I never tried saving the top to plant it

I hope you take time to make it. I clean the outside of the pineapple well before slicing it up.

Ugh, tree trimming and thinning fruit trees are so hard to do. Thank goodness you have good helpers. That was a lot of peaches that you thinned out, sigh!

Right? Mika is my gardening buddy like Larry is always with you. They sure know how to make our lives fuller. ♥ With all the work you have to do I don't know how you ever get it all done. The snapdragons

We also have had a lot of rain and the plants are still doing well. Although, they are growing fast because of it. It is helpful so I don't have to water them very often. ;-)

I can't believe it is almost July. Where have the past few months gone? Thank you for the visit to see the flowers that were blooming this week. Enjoy life as much as possible since it seems to be zooming

I so agree, I don't know how time seems to be moving so fast. I love Fushia too and have a lot of those flowers in the garden and baskets. They make me happy.

Mika is my little gardening companion and she thinks digging in the dirt and pulling weeds is the best play ever.

I appreciate it, thank you! I do enjoy the gardens very much.

Thanks, Denisse I hope you are enjoying your weather too.

You got all the rain that we did too. You are right the plants have grown a ton this week. That sister rose is stunning. I would have to save some of her petals to make rose water. ;-)

The dehydrator has been very busy lately. I am trying hard to stay on top of the herbs and have already cut them all back hard. I will get another nice flush before summer's end.

Thanks, Joan I am happy you enjoy the posts.

Can you believe we are already canning produce? Glad you got so many peas, mine did nothing at all the mice kept eating the sprouts. I hope you're staying cool in this muggy weather. ♥

Perhaps someday you will make cabbage rolls for any meal, enjoy.

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.

I love the cabbage rolls and they are so easy to make. Enjoy your day Edith.

You sure got that right, when nature decides to produce, I have to keep up. lol

Have fun making some and no you do not have to blanch the leaves before dehydrating. Just wash them and chop them and dry them on a low heat setting. It takes a few hours before they are crisp and dry

It is the most satisfying part of growing your own food. Fresh and to the table the same day. ♥
