First Tomato 2015

IMG_3214I harvested our first tomato of the year. It was beautiful and delicious. IMG_3300This will probably be the last pretty one we get because the deer are pretty well keeping the redding tomatoes eaten. This tomato was hidden on the vine behind a some green ones.

The resident doe has recently had a fawn. She’s got a huge appetite now that she’s nursing.
My husband saw the fawn the other day he said it was as tiny as Shelibean. Aw, it sounded so cute.  Hopefully, it’ll come out when I’m outside and I can get a photo of it to share on my blog.

Happy Gardening!

Green Beans packed & Frozen

IMG_4109T’is the season to began storing food for the winter. I’m happy that we got 10 packages of green beans packaged and put in the freezer. That’s a lot of good eats. 😉

If you want to know how I package my beans, here’s a link to a website that has a method like we use.  Pick Your Own: How to Freeze Green Beans

0-frebnThe things we do different from pickyourown.org is, we break our beans by hand instead of using a knife
and we use Ziploc Vacuum bags. This has been our favorite vacuum pump for many many years.

I look forward to putting on a pot of green beans in the winter time, cooking them down and reminisce about growing them. lol

I hope you all have a nice rest of the week of enjoyable reminiscing.
