We have downsized. We were once proud keepers of a garden that was about the size of our current backyard...that in itself was a problem. I know that there is nothing that quite compares to walking out your back door and selecting fresh produce for your evening meal. I, however, am not much of a veggie fan. I have about three things that I put on my plate that I find acceptable, so dealing with bushels of okra and abundant squash really did nothing for me.
Our current garden is producing 5 pound coffee cans full of tomatoes and cantelope. We already harvested all of the onions and I have to admit it was nice not to have to run to the store after deciding what was for dinner just to grab a single onion.
Today I took my pal along to help me pick tomatoes. She had it down to a science in just moments. A few quick instructions on what color to look for and she had her bucket full.
Oh, if I had olny paid attention when Granny Grounds told me how to can all of this excess stuff. Or actually maybe I knew I would never want to know and that is why I didn't listen!
