it's also incredibly beautiful when you put a few spoonfuls of pickled beets on top of it... :)

bubblewrap, sponges and duct tape come to mind...

last night was some cottage cheese with tomato chunks on top and then some pepper. i've not had pepper in a long time - i think i need to replace these pepper corns because they're likely over 20yrs old.

now i want some Greek Eggs...

i'd agree that bees are not easy and can be expensive to start with and require a lot of knowledge and care to go longer term. worms were my favorite. i already miss them. absolutely low cost (i think i put all of maybe $30 into keeping them almost 15yrs and got many hundred lbs of worm...

oh, i was thinking they were a purple fleshed potato, thanks for info. :)

finished up this morning and realized we're almost out of jars so we'll pick up a few more cases to get us through what we have left to do. 26 quarts done between last night and this morning.

got the tomatoes chunked and ready for the last steps but need a break for a few before doing those. enough that i'll have to put the third pan up in the morning but that is ok - i can't fit more than 24 quart jars in the oven at a time anyways.

love that color and those patterns. :) hope they taste great!

chocolate cake and a glass of milk, tuna casserole, corn cut off the cob and a cookie and some more milk. in that order...

glad for any break for you in the heat down there! so sorry he's falling. :(

picked 4 buckets of tomatoes this morning and had another bucket of rejects that got buried. it is going to be busy afternoon getting these rinsed off and sorted out and then i'll take a break for a bit before starting in on canning the ones that are the most ready. the ants are going after...

the downside is some nights down to low 40sF which is going to be cold after 80s-90s...

in our forecast we have mid-60sF weather and then climbing to mid-70s next week. some overnight temperatures going as low as 41F.

weather next week looks great with some days in the mid-60sF. :) it will be a great relief to be able to do things outside and not have to worry about the heat.

not too much obvious damage in the tomato plants that i could see today (a few fruits on the ground that were chewed) will pick tomorrow. i think there should be several buckets worth - never know until i get them picked and sorted. this morning i had to get out and do some dry bean pod...

i am glad that i enjoy most of gardening. as long as flowers are not too stinky or i can work upwind.

it is very rare that there are leftovers from a roast. we don't make them often here, but when we do i really enjoy.

you are a genius! :)

whoever came up with the word cat-a-pult? poor kitties!
