Garden Saturday

Hello Everyone!
Today is Garden Saturday. My outside garden is just about done. I have black and pinto beans just about ready to turn brown and then I can harvest them. A few more peas to pick and then that plant is done. The plants left in the greenhouse are tomato and chili plants and they are doing well. I am so happy to actually harvest tomatoes and chilies. 
Last year they were a no go. 
In fact tonight I am making chili rellenos for dinner.

 

 

 

 

 There are still more pea on the vine.

 

 Last of the cucs. Dill pickles for these.

 Black Beans starting to turn brown.

 OMG these onions are big and beautiful

 

 

 Salsa

 

 Chicken broth

 

 I made more beef jerky.

 
and there is nothing better than a cucumber and tomato sandwich made with the produce out of the garden.

 
I hope that whatever you are growing is giving you joy. There is something magical about a garden.
Let me know in the comments how your garden is growing.
Have a great day today.

    As always, I am in awe of your garden and your prowess as a gardener. You are a woman after my own heart. Chili rellenos are my favorite. We will have to exchange recipes someday. If I recall from seeing your kitchen, you also have an electric stove, which makes it hard to "sweat" the chilies to soften them. I am also a big fan of cucumber and tomato sandwiches. Seems it is something I picked up in my very British childhood. The only things that have grown for me are basil, basil, basil, basil, basil, dill, basil, dill. You get the idea (grin).

    Everything is looking good. And nice pickings. I am picking garden treats too, but my flowers are mostly looking tired from the heat of the summer. It's fun to see your growth and greenhouse. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

    I am thrilled with your garden producing things you will really enjoy this winter. Hooray. Hooray. Hooray. Chili rellenos are a favorite of ours too. My peppers are just now setting fruit, a bit late, but hopeful me……

    ...I had some tomatoes out of the garden and dill pickles that I made this year for lunch. They were mighty good if I say so myself.

    Tastes even better when you have nurtured it yourself. :)

    Your veggies look wonderful, enjoy. Yesterday most people wore no masks in town, and didn't keep their distance. Just stupid! Have a great day, stay safe! Valerie
