New Recipe Tried ~ Rhubarb Infused Vodka

Go figure.  The one year we did not grow cherry or grape tomatoes, and I am finding many new recipes that we love!

Mediterranean Orzo Salad, and we love it!  We can't wait to make with with our own cucumbers, and bell peppers, but next year I will be growing cherry and/or grape tomatoes.  There is nothing better than a cold dinner on a very hot day.

 I was a bit late, but finally got the rhubarb infused vodka strained and bottled.  The light makes the color look different, but they are all looking good.

Rain is on the move today, so mowing is in progress.  The tomato patch (larger one) is too dry to weed, so I am thankful for the rain.  I've been out in the gardens every morning.

I was a bit surprised to see a banana pepper so early this year, but happy for the harvest.

I have a stack of library books to look through.  I am looking for a specific type of hat pattern.  I just have not had time to open the books.  I am hoping today, with the rain, I will get some free time.

Garden Work

 

Just a few pictures.  By the way, flies can bite thru the garden sleeves.

Older photo, but do you prune your zucchini plants?  Yellow squash?  I watched a video about this, and pondered that thought.  I have never cut stems off of my plants, but I read that the bees can pollinate much better, as they will see the flowers better if you prune them.  I don't want to kill my plants, so I'm asking here if you prune your squash plants?

Garden work.

Rinse and Repeat.

Best soap so far, for cleaning my hands/nails after garden work.
