Nice harvest!

I'm going to do a batch of pickled Dilled Green Beans tomorrow.

@RoriTx: Those are my favorite! I only have one jar left from last fall... I'll have to can many more jars this season! Have fun! :)

@Queen_of_Green: My son feels his Bloody Mary is Nekid without a couple in it. My husband swears he never even got to eat one last year.

@RoriTx: Yum! those would be good in a Bloody Mary! I hope your husband gets a few of them this year! That's just sad! :)

A very nice harvest!  You are always so busy!  When do you get to relax?
RoriTx replied about 1 year ago
@Liz: I find a little time to here and there. I spent so many years working 15 hour days, seven days a week that it's pretty much a part of me. I would go 3 months without a day off and we didn't have a vacation for 13 years. It's pretty much ingrained in me now. We try and take time from July on to September to do some fun things.

@RoriTx:Well now we know how you get so much done ... good harvest & the dilled green beans sound fabulous.

Yeah Dilled Green Beans! 
RoriTx replied about 1 year ago
@Clenram: I'm going to do half hot I think. I still have a gallon bag of dried cayenne peppers in the pantry.

Is that a white cucumber I see in the collection?  That is really white, but is really looks yummy.  John likes dill pickles/beans, but the kids and I are Sweet Pickle fans.

@JMTKMS: The white cucumbers are the miniature pickling ones. The big white thing is a Lebanese White Bush Marrow
JMTKMS replied about 1 year ago
@RoriTx:The white bush marrow, is that the regular size?  I planted a white zucchini - lungo bianco.  I wonder if they are similar, I have not grown them before.
RoriTx replied about 1 year ago
@JMTKMS:I think I picked it a little early. It's supposed to be all white,about 7" and I think it's short and squaty. I just wanted to try it tonight since we ended going out last night (granddaughters all over for dinner and hollering Chinese). It may be close. I know the marrows are related to zucchini.
JMTKMS replied about 1 year ago
@RoriTx:  Funny, I did not find any seeds at Baker Creek that were called zucchini, except the white one and the yellow one that I purchased. I currently do not have any "traditional" green zucchini's planted, so I hope the "marrows" taste real similar, as we love zucchini.
RoriTx replied about 1 year ago
@JMTKMS: they have the one listed as Summer Squash,'Dark Green' and the other as 'Black Beauty'.
JMTKMS replied about 1 year ago
@RoriTx:  Well, I guess that makes sense now, but I am/ was such a traditional "name" person.  I plant zucchini, so it should say zucchini.  Same with the canteloupes, we had a hard time picking melons, cause nothing was called "canteloupe".  I am catching on, but this years choices were pretty much picked by whether or not we liked the sound of the name.   Its kinda that same, for me, way that I pick football teams in the football pool.  :) :)

@JMTKMS: I never say football to loud . I've lived in Texas over 30 years now but I will NEVER be a Cowgirl fan. 49'ers forever! You should have seen Facebook during the world series Rangers Vs. The Giants....I thought I was going to be run out of the state rofl
JMTKMS replied about 1 year ago
@RoriTx:  Sounds really good, and it does look real close to the lungo bianco.  Thanks.

@RoriTx:  Lol.... I know exactly what you mean!  :)

A good harvest and a great photo!  I love the canning jars and potatoes in the background!  A perfect picture of a busy garden kitchen :)  
RoriTx replied about 1 year ago
@SweetDomesticity...: More like I haven't Cleaned out the pantry yet but we'll go with the artistic interpretation!
