WR's 2017 Spring Garden

[digitS']

First I thought, "Blood type?"

Is there a garden variety among those commercial types, @seedcorn ?

One for edamame?

Look for conventional soybeans, group 0 or maybe 1.0. Im sure companies have them.

This morning I did the rest of the soybeans, pulling up the plants as I went. Then processed & vacuum packed/froze them.

Harvested another 2 tubs of tomatoes. Then some green beans, eggplant & cucumbers. At this point I only need to make 1 more batch of spaghetti sauce (which we will can) so the remaining tomatoes will be given to friends for their use. This has been a very good season for tomatoes & half are yet to ripen!!!

While shopping this morning, I picked up 6 ears of sweet corn. I stripped the kernels off of the cob & mixed them with fresh soybeans (that I held back from yesterday) to make succotash.

It's so hot, this is all we are having for supper along with sliced tomatoes & cucumber spears...

​

It's 98 degrees on the covered back porch & the fan doesn't help at all... heat index is 107.1 degrees. I'll be watering for sure at sun up tomorrow...

We got a couple of showers from the tropical storm, and it did cool things off a bit. My husband tended the smoker pit all day yesterday while I ground pork from the hog we raised, and made sausage. we smoked the bacon and the stuffed sausage I made. Our supper tonight was a smoked pork sausage on a bun with home made pickles and home grown onions. Dang it was good!

Yesterday I roasted the tomatoes & this morning I finished the last batch of spaghetti sauce. This batch was canned afterwards (one jar lid didn't 'plink' so Mrs. Ranch froze it)...

Harvested the green beans for the last time, then pulled up the plants.

Harvested a couple more cucumbers & the 1st spaghetti squash (there are a number of them that will be ready within a week).

​

Harvested another 1 1/2 tubs of tomatoes. I'm going to dehydrate a batch & then give away the rest.
