WR's 2017 Spring Garden

[w_r_ranch]

Harvested 13 more jalapenos that will be stuffed & wrapped in bacon to serve as a side for tonight's supper. They have some really meaty, thick walls this year!!!

​

Also harvested 7 additional cucumbers...

​

Then assisted Mrs. Ranch in vacuum packing the Eggplant Parmesan we made a couple of days ago. We ended up with 42 portions, enough for 21 meals.

Harvested 6 lbs of tomatillos, the necessary peppers & some cilantro to make 'Roasted Salsa Verde'. I saved some for tonight & canned the rest for later use.

Good grief your garden is really putting out. Ours is pretty puny still.

Harvested 13 more jalapenos for another batch of stuffed japs to go with our supper tonight.

While I was out there, I also harvested a meat tub of cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers & eggplant for our mail lady in appreciation of her special attention. Then threw in some red potatoes for good measure. We have excellent mail service here!!!

Then I cleaned a 5 gal. bucket of potatoes for slicing/dehydrating tomorrow, as they are fully cured now.

Harvested a meat tub full of the first of the green beans (luckily I finished just as the rains hit). We'll process them tomorrow for vacuum packing/freezing. Looks like we will have a really good crop of them this year!!!

​

Processed & started dehydrating another batch of ripple-cut potatoes.

Bush or pole?

The 'Blue Lake' variety I grow is a pole bean.
