Summer Garden

The weather is warm and the garden is growing. 💚 I love this time of year watching my seedlings growing into established plants. I down sized my garden this year. Less tomato plants, pepper plants, green bean plants and no cabbage or cauliflower. I did plant shelling peas, unfortunately they have grown very slow.  I won't be getting as much of a harvest as I had hoped for but they taste divine. 

I'm excited that I will be teaching a couple food preservation classes this year. I re-certified to be a Master Food Preserver again. I'll be teaching a Meats/Low Acid Foods class and then an Emergency Food Preparedness class. It's been over 10 years since I taught a class and I'm so happy I'm able to teach again.

We've had a good year so far. We've seen our great granddaughter and our son more this year and then one of our son's moved back to Colorado. I miss him and his family so much but they are happy and making a good living. Isn't that what we hope for for our children? 💗 I visited one of my Sisters and hope to see another one of my Sisters in July. We have family visiting in July and August so it's going to be a busy summer.
