The farm,garden,driveway






This year we have added to our gardening. We put in strawberries and raspberries. We had 3 old cane produce for us yeah, so that was nice to get a few raspberries this year. Next year we will get both!
also the grass we put in down the middle of the back half of the driveway has filled in, mowing it and looking good.

I put up 6 quarts and 38 pints.


My first pick for green beans to groc. bags full put up 14 quarts.

Pickled Beets


This year I grew a lot of beets but, the deer found them in the big
Garden so, this was all I had left to can. But it was enough. I had almost a bushel and ended up with 23 pints.
