Gardening

Happy Thursday!  I just wanted to share some of the things I have been doing with my gardens lately!
It is that time of year to be harvesting the tomatoes and peppers.  So far I have made stuffed peppers, pasta sauce, just plain tomatoes.  Yesterday I cooked up some and made one jar of whole Roma's with juice and lots of basil and then a batch of salsa.  I like trying different things so each of my jars of plain tomatoes have a large whole basil leave in it.  I have also done up 14 jars of dill pickles. 4 different batches marked with the recipe for each one.  I wanted to see witch one we liked best.

Isn't this basket cute?  I found it at a little antique store in Ludington MI a couple of weeks ago.

 My Roma's are huge this year.  This is the first big one I picked but I have picked larger ones since this.

 I love these little pickling cucumbers!

And here is the finished product.  Just the first batch.

 Here I just wanted to show you a couple of my Glads!

 Here is the most beautiful butterfly I saw in my yard this year. It just loved this plant and came back day after day.

Well that's it for today.  Enjoy the rest of your summer!
