Last night I enlisted the help of two kiddos. I invested in a second hand chopper, but realize now, that I should have purchased another cutting board too.
Anyway, one kiddo chopped the onions. Another chopped up the bell peppers and hot peppers.
I chopped 12 cups of zucchini. I'll have more details on this tomorrow. It had to sit in the fridge overnight before canning today.
My ladies and Sparta got the end treats and seeds from the zucchini. Kind of a nice treat on a very hot day.
My break yesterday?

Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or go without."

Garden Goodies!
In my best sing-song voice, with "Welcome back, welcome back, wellll-coooome-baaack!"
The zucchini exploded while we were gone. I got a handful of shell peas, but their vines are loaded for a good harvest I believe.
My first day back to "reality" was a busy one. Hubby texted me "you ok?" He had not heard a peep from me all day. I was so durn busy.
