I know that it's April, but since Gracie and I have both had snow in the last week (stupid weather gods!) I really haven't been able to get a decent jump on the garden or anything remotely outside-ish. This weekend I plan on getting the composter my sister showed me, hopefully plant my starters from the Farmer's Market last weekend, and doing some (more) canning.
One good thing about staying around the area you grew up (especially when it's a very small town) is you know everybody. Seriously. Today I stopped at the grocery store because I wanted to can something besides strawberries and apples. I happened to have gone to school with one of the guys who works in the fruits and veggies and he told me that they had just gotten an excellent batch of green beans. I grabbed a bunch of those (it's probably several pounds to be honest) and also some baby dill. I actually found a mix of pickle spices also, so I'll probably try some with fresh herbs and some with the seasoning.
Once again, I will try and keep you up to date on my adventures and please, keep your fingers crossed for me.

It has snowed in the last month (or so) here in the DEEP SOUTH. I can't speak for home but down here the weather is insane. I also don't think Wifey and I are destined to go to the farmers market. She has a heck of a time sleeping when I am not here and is out like a light so I am not going to wake her up. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI am seriously considering driving aimlessly looking for one of those stands they have in the movies.
