Summer Garden

Each summer we plant a garden and eat fresh veggies and fruit throughout the summer months. Sometimes the zuchini gets a little to big for me to eat ( I am the only one who eats it fresh) and so Uncle Scott showed the girls how to make a zuchini boat and they floated them down the ditch outside our house. Cline is the chief weeder and picker and I do most of the canning and freezing. This year we have made freezer jam and beans and the tomatoes are coming on so spaghetti sauce will be next to can. We have our first crop of apples from our trees so apple sauce is in order. Our peaches and pears only produced enough this year to eat so we enjoyed those fresh. I always feel a sense of satisfaction when I look at our garden and it's resulting produce on the shelves.
