I pulled the rest of my onions except for the ones that are flowering. My onions did so good this year. I hope to save the seeds for next year. I picked a few cucumbers to use in our salad tonight. I love to eat pickling cucumbers raw. They taste so fresh.

I canned 7 quarts of green beans today & put 1 quart in the freezer. I've got 9 pints of hamburger cooling in the canner now. It's been a long day.

I went out early this morning and picked 8 quarts of rattlesnake green beans. Left plenty on the vines to pick in a couple of days. This is my 4th (?) year planting from saved seed. They seem to get better every year. Pulled up a few more onions that had fallen over. Also dug up my elephant...

Look at that joker climb! :ep

We had green beans & sweet potatoes I canned last year. Some peppers I dehydrated last year. I pulled about 30 of my onions today, so had 1 of those. Also opened up a jar of chicken I canned last week to put in a casserole. It was all good!

Well, it was hot here today. It was 90* in the shade with heat index of 99*. We do have rain in the forecast for the next several days. Hope we get a bit. Last rain we had was last weekend and it barely got to 1/2".

I love watermelon! Mine has started putting out blooms. Pulled my sugar snaps today and picked off the last of the pods for next years seeds. Found a few still good to eat, so had breakfast out in the garden. My gd helped hunt the pods with me. I got my soaker hoses out today. Finished by...

Well, I'm about 20 miles SOUTH of I-20. Is the line moving? LOL Do y'all have LuvBugs? Over the last couple of years, we've seen them as they slowly move Northward. Those things are so horrid. Sure make a mess of your vehicle. You better keep your mouth closed too! LOL

Yep. We've got 'em here. I first noticed them about 3 years ago? They love me. The males buzz your face while the female sneaks around and bites in places that are hard to reach. They are out in the mornings here. I have about 10 bites on me now. I'll have to put on my skeeter bracelets when I...

Pulled 3 of my onions that had broken over. They were on the small side, about tennis ball size. Fertilized a couple of squash to make sure they developed. My cucumbers, pole beans, tomatoes & watermelons are blooming. Everything seems to be growing good this year. Looks like I'll have to...

@4grandbabies - Sorry to hear about your husband. The canned chicken was wonderful. Tasted good right out of the jar & even better in chicken & rice casserole.

I bit the bullet today and finally canned up some meat! It wasn't bad at all. I put up 9 pints of chicken & 9 pints of hamburger. I used one of the hamburger to fix a casserole tonight. I salt & peppered it and took a bite. It had a slightly different taste, but it was good. It's a softer...

@baymule - That was a drive! I remember driving back to Lubbock when I was a kid. It took forever to get there. I actually ventured out last Friday. We had to make a run to Lowes to get some lumber for the new coop and made a stop at Walmart on the way home. There was no tp, no liquid soap...

It's coming a good downpour here now. Going to be nice this weekend. Lows in the upper 40's and highs in the mid 70's.

We have a t-post driver & a t-post puller. Makes fencing much easier.

My turnip roots don't grow very good. I can grow some nice tops, just not the roots. I'm glad your donkey went to a good home. Glad she left before something got hurt.

Is that peppervine growing up next to the post? That stuff is a pita! My dogs follow me around like that. Blue is so old, I have to make sure she comes back to the house with me so she doesn't get lost.

Was she after the same lamb or a different one? You never know if something is going to work unless you give it a shot. Glad everything worked out well.

We've got another one heading out way tonight. Calling for 70+ mph winds, hail, rain and moderate risk for tornadoes. It was slight risk, but they upped us with the evening news.

Tied up my tomatoes and trimmed off the lowest leaves. Also checked on the muscadines to make sure the ends were tied. Got storms coming on so didn't want any to get knocked over/off. Did a little bit of weeding and gave them to the chickens.
