Fall Beans


This is seven quarts of  bush green beans from just the first harvest last week. 

My canning pressure pot and hot water canner. Been a very busy September of canning before winter comes.

Basil and Thyme Jelly


When you grow a lot of basil you can make some jelly.

 I made several batches of basil and thyme jelly. It is great on a biscuit or sandwich.


Filtered and pretty.

Fall Harvesting


What my neighbors grew this year.



Biggie Squash


This is a volunteer Cushaw squash that grew over a bent cattle panel in my garden. I have three veggie gardens and this grew over the bunny yard. It weighs 34lbs. The boots are for pasture work and snake protection in my gardens. Jeans are a must even in church.


Not the most flattering photo of me on a Monday but that is farm life. No makeup, no mirror time just jeans, boots and go. Had to get milk, drop off eggs and cartons and pick up pumpkins for baking out of the field.


My farmer friends who weighed the squash for me. 

Yes, we live very rural here. This is how we roll in the Ozarks. The squash seed has been requested to be saved by fans who want to grow one like this.
