WHEW! That was a close call!

I can't believe I actually ran out of Annie's Salsa!

A quick trip to the local farmers market yesterday solved all of my salsa woes. (Well, the trip to the market was quick....but then there were 7 hours of canning....)

That's right....19 pints of it! That should last me at least a couple of months! LOL

Now thats a beautiful picture!

We love Annie's salsa too, and will be making some this week. Last week I made three double batches of Annie's habanero gold jelly-we love that too.(Thanks for the recipies Annie.)

Linda it is time consuming, but oh so good to make your own food. You did a great job!

I saw him about an hour after I rescued him and he was swimming around just fine. I'm so glad I found him in time as he is the oldest and my favorite of all the fish in my pond. I knew that the parrots feather was thick but I hadn't realized just how far down that thick mass off plants went. I'm really tempted to take a lot more of it out of the pond but it has been working so well to clean up the excess nutrients in the water that I worry that if I take out too much the water will turn green again!

The late recovery is very normal. Usually June is the time when trachys start growing new spears if they lost them. My trachycarpus all did very well this past winter, so their new spears have been growing since April, but if they suffered from more damage, then they would also be growing a bit later. They still have a ton of time to recover (probably right up to November!) so expect lots of new fronds very soon! Good luck! -Alex

Ooh, thanks so much, that is her! I should think that class would help Vic, you can sell/barter preparations you make from what you grow, do some freelance garden design, and use your skill to make gifts for all occasions, that should free up some cash lol. Or attract one of those crazy bdsm types into domestic serving that is so enamored by your garden they care for you and hand over their wages! Sarah

Close call on a Killing Frost this morning....
Q
Comments (6)
I hit 27 (!) last night in my garden. Much lower than expected (forecast was 32 in my area). I should have known - when I took the dog out last night I noticed the clear skies and thought to myself "theres going to be frost". But I was not expecting that low. Dew point was down around 23 so the frost was not all there but the shear cold is what worries me. Broccoli was covered with frost cover but lots of frozen water on the leaves and a little crunchy this morning. Same for greens, lettuces, onions, kales, beets, radishes, kohlrabi in rest of garden - all those plants were just starting to take off last week. I am hoping for the best and know that they can take some pretty serious chills, but still kicking myself for not covering everything up. This week's forecast to be in the 80s! Strange year so far, for sure. I focused on spring plantings this year more than I ever have. Just about everything has grown extremely slowly with all these cold snaps and part of me wants to abandon ship to start some of the summer crops. I fear that by the time they are mature it will already be in the 90s and the cool weather crop quality will be diminished.

Linda - I will bring you some of the dehydrated salsa mix I used to sell at the market. That way you can save Annie's Salsa for the colder months and enjoy my seasoning with the fresh tomatoes now!

Looks great and I know it tastes good.
That's on my to do list as soon as I get back from a quick trip downstate.

Good job!

Great job!

The fair may be over, but that means I now have time to can without any pressure to compete! Annies salsa is top on my list :-) so I will be joining your efforts in the next week or so.

Way to go Linda! I just love that stuff too. I've made a couple of batches so far this year. With all the company I've had I only have five jars left. I'll be making more to stock up for the winter.

Great job, Linda. I have 225 pints done so far this season.
Hopefully only a few more batches to go.

Linda. those are just beautiful.

momof2doxies, 225 pints? Wow. now I AM impressed.

So far I've done 12 pints and 33 of those little 4 ounce wedding favors, Amanda is coming over next weekend and we're spending a day canning. The Princess is an excellent tomato peeler...

225 pints?????

Linda, I bow down to you! LOL

It took me nearly 7 hours to do 19 pints. Let's see...that's approximately 2o minutes per pint, so that means 225 pints equals approximately 75 hours of canning! Holy Crap!

I just chop enough for 8 batches at a time, then the next day I can it all. I just keep repeating until I'm done. Plus, my DH was out of town for a week so I needed to keep busy.

I went through 3 bushels of tomatoes this weekend just making sauce. I just spent 3 hours scrubbing down my kitchen from top to bottom. Tomorrow I have to start on doggie biscuits for a charity event on Wed. evening. I only have 1200 of them to make in the next couple of days.

This is why I never have time to post very often.

I think I will take Thursday off.LOL
