Been putting the garden to bed
-
Last few weeks, we have been putting the garden to bed, getting ready for winter. Had a very good harvest this year. More tomatoes then we have ever had. Good crop of sweet corn. Beans, not so good. Fair amount of potatoes and onions and a bunch of other stuff.
da' wife has put up 5 gallons of spaghetti sauce, 5 gallons of chili sauce and I don't know how much soup. While she was doing all this, I was looking at the nice green tomatoes and thinking that I hadn't had fried green tomatoes in years. So went and came up with a recipe for Southern Fried Green Tomatoes. Darn good!
With the half a beef we got in June and the garden, the "cupboard" is looking pretty good for the coming winter. Plus might throw in a deer or 2.

Sounds like you folks are all set. That's a nice feeling.

We turned off the lawn sprinklers and had the system blown out. We're ready now.

Was hoping for a few more weeks of above 70 with the hot temps and drought we've had this spring/summer but NO gonna hit low 30's tonight so even the little rain we got earlier this week ain't gonna help the hay. I'll have to get what I can this week I guess before it goes brown and dormant... the small veggie garden I have didn't do much at all this year still got 2 bell pepper plants trying and one tomato plant but this change in temp will probably put and end to that. It is what it is... try again next year...

Our garden is done for. Already had a few mornings with frost. With the dry conditions it did not do well this year. In fact our compost pile ended up having some good vegetables.

We are still getting tomatoes and peppers, a few dry beans and black eyed peas.
