Hahaha, Mike. Manure goes on everything, lol.

We both loved your tomato soup, and we will certainly enjoy it next time with toasted cheese too. Too bad your husband hated soup so much, it is favorite wintertime meal in this house, any soup will do!

Yay! You got some tomatoes done, that is always a big job. I have to dehydrate hot peppers too, but still have many on the plants to pick.

The molds are perfect for saving the garlic and basil. Easy to add to recipes too. I tried to find them on Amazon for you, but I only see the smaller bite size. Perhaps at Michaels store if you have one

I can tell when the vegetables are finished as they start to turn yellow and stop fruiting. Soon it will be time to do most of them. Fall has arrived!

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.
