    What did you do in your garden today?

    I can't plant in the ground here. Too many moles and other underground varmints ruin the landscape.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I soaked bowls and bowls of black beans. For a bit too long, but they were aok. Canned up four quarts. Two of them didn't seal!! I can reprocess, but I think I'll throw them into zip bags into the freezer. I add beans to lots of my recipes. Just to stretch the meat a bit.

    NSFW: so don't read if you're squeamish. Hubs and son moved a tree for me a week ago. It wasn't happy in full sun, so he moved it to a shadier spot. When he went to pound in the stake with a t-post thingie, out came flying blood and stuff. Evidently a mouse was up in the top. :th

    What's for dinner?

    I found some Orange Roughy on clearance at Safeway. Haven't seen it in many years. So I looked it up. Its been overfished and contains too much mercury for kids/preg women. These two 70 yr olds don't care about that for one meal. Going to make soft fish tacos tonite.

    Food prices June 2021

    Mother's daddy raised turkeys in his Philadelphia back yard during the early 30's. He'd lost his job at Atlantic Richfield (ARCO) as an engineer for three years. Mother hated those turkeys.

    Hubs and I went to Lowes. He got lumber and I got dirt. Its so expensive and contains so much bark. Oh well. Even tho I planted my gladiolas deep (like three inches) nearly three years ago, many of them have migrated upwards and their crowns are showing. I'm not digging them down again, so I put...
