Extreme Clean ~ Garden Goodness

What got cleaned?
-living room carpet, cobwebs knocked down, dusted
-kitchen cobwebs knocked down, cupboards all wiped down, coffee pot washed, canister lids washed, sink scrubbed, counters sanitized, floor swept and mopped.
-utility room: all cupboards wiped down, washer and dryer finally wiped down
-hallway carpet cleaned, cobwebs knocked down
-wiped down a fridge and freezer
-glass doors cleaned
-porch swept off
-wiped down 3 wood doors

When I went to clean the glass doors, this visitor arrived and didn't want to leave.  


Brought in another 3# of jalapenos.  We have now harvested a little over 12# of them.


Brought in 8oz. of hot banana peppers.  Not enough for mustard sauce. I guess I  will wait a day and see if I'll get more.


More of the ladies are laying.  They love the new coop.  We will soon start clearing the cement slab hopefully move them before winter.

Wish I could get into your cleaning mood. I'm headed to wipe out the fridge & microwave.

M.Meyers, it did!

Wildflower Adventures, cleaning is about to turn to canning

Lady Locust said...

What do you do with all your jalapenos? That's a lot of heat!

Pioneer Woman at Heart said...

Lady Locust, I can Cowboy candy, and freeze some, dehydrate some and use them in other canning recipes like hot pepper relish, hot pepper jelly and BBQ sauce etc.

Busy girl nice to see and seems to have been a positive and very productive day!

Lady Locust said...

Ah ha! Thank you. Hubby has a bunch growing - I don’t eat them - so needed some guidance (ideas) 😁
