Reclaiming the Garden

I'm reclaiming my vegetable garden . . .

. . . cleaning  it up

 . . . one day

. . . one section

. . . when time allows.

The garden did spit out one very small banana pepper, one very small green pepper, and some super chili peppers.  I simply sliced them all up (and a few jalapeno peppers from the guy down the road), and dehydrated them all. Oh, I had 3 more very small cayenne peppers too.  I will grind them all up, using the tip from a blog follower, and making a super hot powder.   I added the 4 teensy habaneros to this too.  I better go make a label for it.  I may even keep a few dried rings for chili and other soups this winter. 

Now I must get back to work.

Well, your one day one section...LOOKS GOOD!
I was looking at our little fenced garden...thinking, I could probably plant something in there if I get out there and clean it up.
Isn't it funny...? Just when you think you're getting a handle on THE LIST (of things to do) ...someone reminds you there is always more.
Ha! That is what happens when I come here to read. ;)

Thanks! (i think) Pat

Sadly my garden was in the same shape. I need to dry my peppers. Lots of hot peppers this year.

Great stuff. Veggi gardens are such a lot of work but so worth it.
I've never tried peppers, I'm not sure they would grow here. Maybe I should try them in with the cabbage, might stop the deer who come to our garden for supper!!

Doing the same thing here with my rose garden which got totally out of hand because of all the rain which they loved and flourished on. Now it looks more like a briar patch than a rose garden. LOL

So I went to do some pruning, stepped in a fire ant nest about half way through, and scurried back in the house to dose my feet with witch hazel.

It's always something, isn't it. LOL

God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
