big smile on my face!

So true, homegrown potatoes have a fresh, earthy taste compared to those from the store. Have a great day.

I so agree, it was fun seeing how many potatoes grew. Now they are curing and we can eat them soon. ♥

Thanks, Denisse it was so tasty being fresh.

Good to hear that the septic tanks were in good shape. Hoping you feel stronger and better quickly or Larry will insist on constant lap sitting. lol

That's too bad, Pam. This was the first year ever that I had a major crop. They grew out of control in every direction. lol I pulled them out this last week. I'm getting tired of canning and yet the garden

Absolutely, and pickles are very good for you too.

It is not hard canning produce. There are so many you tube videos that are excellent teachers.

Oh dang, that no fun. I use the chopper all the time, it is loud but gets the job done fast. I have to do raspberries today.

That sounds like a great idea, with noodles. ♥

Sweet and spicy and it is great with crackers and cream cheese too.

I did enjoy your photos from your mountain outing. Glad you remembered to spray your shoes. What a great photo of the pollen on the bee, he had been busy with the daisies. ♥

The displays at the museum were done so nicely and it is good to have someone teaching about the exhibits. Glad you enjoyed it Abby.

That sounds like you had a doozy of a thunderstorm. I love sitting on my porch when it rains, it is so peaceful. Glad that lightening didn't strike anything important, 3 at a time is scary. Both of us

That sounds like a nice idea, and I'm sure Tom will love it.

Absolutely, I will have so many jars of tomatoes to use until next season finishes. Crazy the number of tomatoes I get every summer. Thanks for the visit.

Right? This summer seems to have flown by, and the gardens are winding down with the cooler nights. The tomatoes are still going strong though, I'm not done processing by far.

Thanks, I still have a lot of tomatoes on the vine yet, yikes!

I like roasting them in the oven, I just cut them in half and bake at 450°F until the skins blister. It makes it easier for me than boiling them to release the skin.

Tomatoes are so easy to process, you should try it someday.
