Canning 2011

This year I had some issues canning, hence the 2 tomatoes and 2 apple pie fillings.  While I was doing those my jars kept breaking and ruining everything!  But I was able to try a couple new things this year like salsa and pickles.  Here are the spoils.....


Tomatoes (from our neighbor's garden)

Salsa


Apple Pie Filling (from my parents trees)


Peaches


Green beans (from mine and my sister Debbie's garden)


Pickles (from my garden)

More Photo Blog Updates......

I was able to take our good friends' family pictures again this year, and also some senior pictures of a boy in ward.  I had so much fun!  I know, it's pretty bad that I haven't posted forever and this is what I'm finally posting.  I'll TRY to catch up in the next couple weeks because that's all I have left until our baby is here!

Gardening.....

(I had time today to do a few posts.  It seems like that's how it usually happens with me, so if you want to, scroll down and read the next few posts.)

This year I really wanted a garden because we were in the middle of moving into a new house last year when it was time to plant, so it didn't happen.  This year we were trying to get the sprinkling system and lawn in, but Reed was nice and made time for it.  BUT.....we were in a hurry, and didn't kill all the weeds and GRASS first, so it's been a lot of work!  Even more than usual.  The grass was so hard to keep up with, so Reed found a mini tiller on Craig's list that just needed something welded back on, then it was as good as new.....for 25 bucks!  Now I'm able to keep up with the garden somewhat, and it is growing better than we've ever had.  Theses pictures were a while ago....now we're actually eating a bunch of stuff out of it.  So far we've had yellow squash, zucchini, radishes, lettuce, spinach, carrots, peas, and beets.  It's so fun to have everything actually work so far!  We attribute it to having automatic sprinklers back there, so we don't have to worry about watering.  And.......the truckload of poop that I got as part of my Mother's Day gift, haha.
