This year we are having poor luck in the gardening department.  We picked about a gallon of tomatoes today, but so many of our Romas have spots.  I froze a gallon and a half of beans, canned one pint of dills.  The cucumbers are dying now.  One thing that is doing really well is our red potatoes.  The vines are dying and Jim has started to dig them up.  They are nice sized, and not lumpy and bumpy.  They look like the ones you buy in the store!!

Freezing Corn

We got our corn in the freezer for this year.  We took three days to do it. Five dozen ears, Thurs, July 28th, made 24 pints and took us four hours.  We did 10 dozen on Saturday, with 51 pints, and 6 dozen today, 28 pints.

Last week, I put a couple quarts of beans in the freezer and canned 3 quarts, 1 pint of Caddie Pickles.

Then with my few cucumbers I made 2 quarts of dills.
