They won't stop....
I'll have another 3 colanders by Friday.
Guess I'm doing another round of sauce..
Right now including pints x2 , we have 73 quarts. What's another 20 right , lol.
Honest to gosh, I'm pulling the plants by Sunday..

My garlic dried fantastic.. its rock hard and full of oil.. I haven't even yet started to dehydrate any..

I need to be picking again this weekend but will need to let them ride for a few days.  MIL is going for surgery today (breast cancer) and looks like we will be up her place helping out most of the weekend.  The SIL that was supposed to do the weekend shift to be with her came down with Covid this week so she needs to stay away.
 
Anyone have a good recipe for canning pints of sliced hot peppers?  I got a bunch that I need to do something with.  

We just do a basic 50water 50 white vinegar with a couple cloves of garlic. Good luck at the in-laws🤞. Hope her surgery goes well.

I was going to say that as well because that's what I do. Just thought someone may have had a recipe

Came home to 3 homemade pizzas today. 2 square homestyle, and 1 Margherita. Those fresh Romas were very tasty.

I'm gonna give it heck this weekend, for the last round up. Picking and pulling the beans. I'll fill probably 1 more bushel of ripe tomatoes. There are a few eggplants out there and several peppers. After that I'm DONE.

Chickens made what should be their final relocation on fresh grass. They will be 7 weeks on Wednesday. They are a nice size and it's either labor day or the Saturday after.
Pigs got pushed back a few days until Sept Sept 12th.
They are ready, I'm just not yet until chickens are gone.
The only garden items left are basil and oregano. Probably picked the last of basil which is dehydrating now.
Heading to fish some water tomorrow for first time since early June.
Pan fish.

Just finished up 32 jars of pizza sauce... Still have a few bushels of maters that haven’t ripened yet. Probably make another batch of spaghetti sauce and feed the rest to the chickens and turkeys. Still have some sweet corn to pick and potatoes to dig up while I wait for the next batch of beans and lettuce to grow.  

Sometimes there's a garden of nature that offers a bountiful bouquet if you go and get it.
There was a change in the diet menu needed and the market obliged.
These are beautiful dinner plate bluegill that once caught were immediately put on ice right through their catch, process and soon our table.
Life is good for folks that want to be self sufficient.

No fishing for me until the hardwater comes.
Getting set for time in the woods next weekend.
While it's a week early, I had to start some planting.
176 garlic cloves put to bed today. Each bed has 88 cloves. I have another 1/2 size bed yet to plant with roja.
I'm going to get another 50 or so in this week and call it a day for garlic next summer.
I really prefer to let my cloves start establishing before the hard frost comes and I don't think it's that far off.
As long as they are covered in thick straw, all will be good next spring.
Gardening is officially closed here.

Covid sucks I'm sure but what is considered covid these days..
Thankfully, we haven't contracted covid. We played it very safe in 2020 and then moved on with life.
Be well to all

Ya, I'm getting ready too. 100sum last year, I'm gonna try for closer to 200 this year.
