Learning Curve with Gardening

A friend of mine gave me some mint when I bought some eggs from her. We wanted some extra fertilized eggs when we ran our first batch of baby chicks. I learned I could root it and create more plants. I am so excited to figure out this process.

I have some basil, thyme and oregano inside. I have cilantro and rosemary outside. I am hoping to see if I can do the same. So far the basil is working great and I have started some new ones. I am learning about freezing and drying them too to start processing my own herbs instead of buying them.

The basil did amazing, look at these roots. Now I need pots and soil. That is on my to do list this week.

This is the first real radish harvest this weekend. I truly love radishes. I learned they are really good for you too. The rabbits love their green tops. I went ahead and picked some of the smaller ones and planted some new seeds. They will grow here pretty much through late summer, sometimes straight into the fall.

Canning and Gardening

Another picking of our garden this summer. I love the amount of produce we have been able to pick this year.

Jalapenos I sliced and ready to go in a pot for them to be candied and jarred.

All ready to go just needing the hot liquid then sealed and canned for 15 minutes. They sure are yummy!

All in a weekends work

9 Tshirts and Patchwork 52 by 72 Childhood Memories Quilt

Father's Day Quilt with Blue paisley fabric

These yellow squares were on a white shirt that was super worn. I cut them out and appliqued them onto a back of another shirt so that it could become its own square

What became of this weeks pick- frozen veggies.

This weekends pick from the garden!

The cucumbers that I picked became 12 jars of pickles
