My tomatoes are finally getting over the blossom end rot. But now the rain has not let up the last couple of days. We needed the rain everything was drying up and I was trying to keep the garden watered. But now with the rain things like my tomatoes are getting to much and starting to crack and bust. I'm starting to get enough to can. I love home made canned tomatoes.
The corn is ripe. We have been picking some for supper. I cooked some last night. I haven't had the time to put up any yet but i need to get on it quick. What we froze tasted wonderful last winter. I froze most on the cob then creamed some. we didn't like the creamed corn. I pick up all the flavors from the freezer but the stuff on the cob was all eaten
I have froze some peas and snaps already this year. I need to freeze a bunch more. This was one of my dad's favorites when he comes to visit. Mine too. I didn't have much of a garden last year due to just moving here but where the telephone company dug to lay the phone line i planted peas all the way down. I was expecting and couldn't walk down the hill to check them so i kept asking my kids if they were ready. The kids said no. Then it was time to turn the cows in the field. I asked my husband to please check one last time before the cows got them. He brought me four groceries bags full. I was so happy.
I start picking mine young. The plants continue to put on peas and you can shell them and snap them. Most people wait until they dry in the vine but I prefer them green.
