Tomatoes in the ground




I made some strawberry jam with the berries we grew in the garden this year. I used the recipe on the Ball Pectin box. I didn't have enough fresh berries so I improvised and used some frozen ones. It came out pretty good. I made some homemade biscuits this morning to have with the jam....Yummy.





We finally got some tomatoes in the garden this weekend. We put in Creole, Big Beef, Beefsteak, Roma, and Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes. I still have some Celebrity and more Romas coming.
I have several kinds of peppers that will probably go in on Sunday.



Here is a picture of my peppers.

Welcome to my back porch!

This is my first attempt at a blog....I thought it might be fun to keep a journal of my daily - weekly attempts at being a country gal.
In January I started some tomato and pepper seeds, along with some zinnas, marigolds & cosmos seeds. They are ready to be set out in the garden this weekend. I will post some pictures when I figure out how to do it.
