Nicole and I have been getting allot done in the garden today. I took the tiller to the 2 beds that the potatoes came out of. The soil is so much better after months of being covered with straw and sawdust. I planted lettuce, red kohlrabi, yellow heirloom carrots, white turnips, red onions, chicory, arugula, and radishes. We also picked a 10 gallon bucket of heirloom tomatoes. Those will be used for sauce. I have so many tomatoes I need to process them right away or we get fruit fly’s in the kitchen. I also picked some yellow zucchini, green zucchini, and yellow pumpkin. I think we will make some carrot cakes in jars. You bake the cake in canning jars. Before they cool, you put the lids on them. They seal, and keep well for a long time. How long they keep, I don't know. But it's a good way to use up the pumpkins and zucchinis. I'll also freeze some of the squash. I want to order a new (bigger) freezer this weekend.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
