I went to the orchard yesterday and brought home a bushel and a peck (haha, I know what you're thinking ;) of peaches. A bushel of yellow Hale Havens and a peck of a white variety, the name of which I can't recall. I culled last evening and cut up all the ones that had spots, to eat fresh after supper and for breakfast, and today I'm making cobbler.

There were quite a few hard ones, so those are sitting in the DR until they mellow. When I walk in the back door all I can smell is PEACH!

I imagine your home does smell really good! I love peaches. I am thinking of baking a peach pie as well as a black raspberry pie to take to a family reunion this Sunday.

I dug my garlic the other day and they are hanging and drying. That is also an aroma that goes everywhere.

I have a Reliance peach in back and this afternoon I will make jam. Too many to eat right off the tree.

I do, I have had two for a few years now, both were recently moved, one apparently loves its' new location, the other is still very small. The happy plant is now almost 4 feet tall, if I just let it go, how tall would it get?

Hi Kelli~A few years ago I found these folks and they helped me along the way as I planned my Ozarks gardens...still have so much to learn, but one thing you can count on ...they are always there for you and they are the most encouraging and supportive group on the Gardenweb! I had to to move away for a while and spent some time in the northeast and tried to hook up with those folks, but is just wasn't the same...now I am in the Pacific and where do I still go?? Back to the Ozarks (where I hope to return one day)...and I am still drawing on their sense of family and knowledge... You'll love it here and will learn a lot ...

This is a sweet and tangy sauce.Good on any kind of meat.Can be used as a basting sauce or dipping sauce.My Daddy was a short order cook most of his life and this is his recipe. Lillie's Barbecue Sauce 1 large can tomato sauce(28 oz)I used crushed tomatoes today because I didn't have sauce.First time I've ever strayed from the original recipe but it worked just fine. 1/2 can honey (Use the tomato sauce can) 2 tsp. garlic powder 2 tsp. white pepper (Black pepper will work too.You just have to adjust the amount to your own taste.) 3 Tbsp. Frenches prepared mustard 4 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 4 tsp. liquid smoke 2 Tbsp. prepared horseradish.Not the creamy kind.Just plain horseradish in a jar. Salt to taste.I never salt mine. 1 stick of butter (Real butter,not margarine or any of that funky stuff.LOL) Mix all ingredients together in a large pan except for the butter.Bring to a boil over medium heat and add the butter.Stir until melted then turn burner down and simmer until the sauce thickens.Stir occasionally and scrape down the sides of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula.I usually cook mine about 30 minutes.

Oh, thats what they call them now....catnip brownies. OK. LOL I've never seen a recipe for rhubarb bread. Since our DDIL passed away, we don't get rhubarb any more but I only used it for Hubs fave, Rhubarb custard pie, and I only made that for his B'day. As for Buster starving..don't think so. The Vet keeps telling me to cut back on his food, but how can I refuse that sweet face and demanding meow. LOL

I thought of you today: As I was walking into the grocery store I was hit by a wall of peachness! They had four kinds, in abundance, but most were rocks, as they often are in the city, and only good for cooking. One, however, plain, not too large, yellow peaches, were fragrant enough to stink up the whole store. I bought four. :)

Thank you all! I hope you enjoy your peaches and garden goodies.

I had some extra cut up peaches that wouldn't fit into the baking dishes, so I let them 'juice up' as my grandmother used to say, and after supper (and grass mowing because it didn't rain again today!) I made 3 pints of chunky peach butter. I love to hear that popping sound when the jars seal.
