Thy Bountiful Care

How is our garden growing? It is finally growing quite well. We're about a week or two behind though, due to the cool days we've been having. Now it is a race against the first frost for some of the crops. We need some good hot midwest days to ripen up those cantelope and watermelon.

This was even better to eat than the picture makes it look.

The cool weather is really producing some great raspberries. This is a great year for them.

We went blueberry picking about a week ago. We picked 40 pounds.

Deb's purple beans are producing prodigiously.

Last Monday we had a major food processing day. All this was processed.

That's eight half pints of blackberry jam, nine half pints of raspberry jam, nine pints of pickled green beans, and 20 quarts of green beans. See why I'm behind on my blog?

What do the purple beans taste like? They look interesting!

Pretty much like the regular green beans. When you cook them, they turn a slightly darker green than the regular beans.

I miss your cooking. Then again, I miss anyone cooking for me!
