Summer harvest!




Well Hello Folks!


After all of the weeding, prickling, and bug biting my garden has finally taken off! As you can see the tomatoes are to die for! My grandmother taught me how to can them last weekend the old-fashioned italian style. If you are on my Christmas list...you are probably getting salsa this year.


The bantams have finally started laying and their eggs are increasing in size. I am hoping that these Rhode Island Reds get the show on the road sometime soon! This weekend G-ma Santora is teaching me the tricks of the jelly and peach canning trade.
