and when you dig them up in my garden they always have earthworms crawling thru the hair...you gotta shake the heck out of it to get the worms back in the garden..

So this delightful little cucumber
raised it's little head
I pondered for a minute
then stomped it in the bed
The garden is still producing
and my patience is wearing thin
I think it's time to do it in
and the spring begin again
The world outside awaits me
I can see the forest for the trees
I'm looking ahead for winter
to less abuse upon my knees
The larder's full, the jars are packed
the freezer fit to burst
Now is the time to just relax and smile
and enjoy the fruits of my work

Well it's official...pulled the cuke vines out this morning and had enough to put up a few more quarts, make some creamed cukes AND a big salad for lunch. Also picked more tomatoes, gave away another box of them to a neighbor, and put up some more quarts of tomatoes too. And still have a couple of boxes of green ones ripening up in the back room.

Boy, planting and watering and weeding is a whole lot more fun than pulling out the plants when they're done. I've just made 8 trips with the wheelbarrow full of tomato plants and not done yet. Good thing we've got the acreage to dump it in..and I've got another good size box of tomatoes to pick up from the ground.

I've got a recipe for Jag...a west Indies rice dish with smoked sausage and a lot of veggies. Today I was able to put my OWN veggies in..kale, green beans, snap peas, white onion, red onion, shallot and garlic and it's happily simmering away in the kitchen...lunch anyone?
I am really looking forward to digging up them spuds...

My taste buds are watering already..
spuds are all dug up... out of a 20 foot row got about 30Lbs of Yukon Golds...
First year trying potatoes, the ground needs to be worked up better, too much clay yet and had quite a few small ones...next year 2 rows...

Time to go back to work...enuff play for this year...*LOL*

Man, I miss my garden already..but by the time I get home there should be some seed catalogs awating me.Just have to put some flowers or some veggies in my aero garden on the kitchen table. Now if I could just find a yellow mandevilla while I'm down south I'd be a real happy camper!
