Fruits of our Labor: The Homesteader's Garden




We have worked so hard this year on our garden. And L@@K!!! Today's haul is about 15 lbs of potatoes! We are so proud.







Yesterday I canned 7 quarts and 9 pints of string beans. Look at these beauties!


I had to buy the beans from another farmer. But, hey...we do what we gotta do! At least I canned them myself!



Oh...L@@K at my pickles!




I bought these beautiful cukes from the same farmer. These are dill pickles. I grew the dill myself! I've never made dill pickles before and was very pleased with how they turned out.

This is a super recipe. Email me at: chicksinfla@gmail.com and I'll send it to you. I'll make sweet pickles later in the season.




More later....
