Apple Pickin'

Last week my family went to an Apple Orchard in Morganton, NC.  We picked about 6 bushels of apples mostly for my sister to make apple sauce.  Its such a beautiful place and the apples are very easy to pick! 

And of course I put my apples on display in my Spring Blossom Pyrex Bowl! :-)

Canning

I mentioned earlier that I plan on learning to can things this summer.  Earlier today my first opportunity presented itself!  My uncle and mother picked all of these cucumbers.  I want to make dill pickles for sure, maybe some other kinds if I find a good recipe.  I will post pictures, the story, and recipes soon!

Let it grow!

These are my plants I planted at the beginning of May.  My two tomato plants are doing very well!...everything else not so much.

This is my Juliet plant.  It has grown about two feet since I took this picture!  It will produce little oval tomatoes like the picture below.  I already have a few small green ones growing they should be ready in two weeks or less!!
