Another perfect day to be outside in the garden! Today's task was to pull all the dry beans and then get them out of their pods. This year because I grew so many tomatoes to re-stock the pantry with sauce, salsa, etc. I didn't have much room for dry beans....but I did try a little of several varieties: soldier, kidney, black, pinto and jacob's cattle. They look so pretty in their glass jars. Have to wait until we get some really cold weather before making them into bean soup!
Still picking tomatoes...and I even have some yellow squash still growing! I picked a couple small heads of cabbage and cooked it for dinner tonight. I fried some bacon, sauted the cabbage and some onion in the bacon drippings and then added some chicken broth. Just before serving cut up the bacon into pieces and added back in. It was very tasty! I also began the big task of washing all the plant containers and putting them away for the winter. I like to clean the containers with a bleach solution after removing the plant and dirt...that way in the spring when I start my seeds - all the containers are clean and ready to use. Well, it's homecoming tonight and Daniel is playing in the pep band at the football game so I have the evening to myself...guess I will watch Bush and Kerry debate - although every time I hear Kerry talk, I get upset with his spin on things. But I would rather hear them both myself than listen to what the media "thinks" they said tomorrow!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone and enjoy this gorgeous weather!
