Lovin' The Homestead
I didn't do much last summer and still feel like a cripple due to the knee surgery so I totally know how you feel! and the black raspberry canes are taking over half the yard cuz I just didn't feel like tackling them last year! (the leaves I dried last spring did make a tasty tea tho so I know where some of it is going this coming year )Denim Deb said:For me, just getting a good garden in will be different! My life has been so messed up over the last few years that I never really got a garden in and if I did get a garden in, I didn't really do much w/it. :/
so here is a big just for ya!
at least I did get about 50feet of tomatoes and pole beans in and about 25 feet of cherry tomatoes and cucumbers(not many cherrys only about 5 types and 3 to 6 of each type planted) lucky for me tho a good friend of hubbies invited us to come to his farm for a pig roast and to show off his gardens and he also shared the harvest once he and his wife got tired of canning and freezing and eating! I ended up with over a bushel of jalapenos red and green and I smoked and dried the red ones and grind them when I need them and I sent some back to them. and they sent over at least a bushel of tomatoes so with what I grew and theirs and the ones I went and got from the PickURown place near me I did well.
on a good note-the knee is strong enuf to catch me in this nasty slushy slippery snow we have had and while it is strong the arthritis still hurts.. darn getting old anyhoo!
