Garden, tomatoes, football, baby, pickling

So it's been a while.......ok a loooong while. I'll try to do better.......I mean it this time......here's a quick update.

I've been busy, WAY busy. I'm back to working full time. 3rd shift, which is a major time suck. I sleep most of the day then when I get up there are things that HAVE to get done, like supper, and laundry, and ya know stuff.

We planted a garden this spring, some things have been a bust, like the radishes. Our first round did nothing but grow flowers, never knew radishes could flower......., I googled it and it means it was too hot. So when it cooled down a bit in early july we planted some more. And well these ones aren't flowering, but they aren't growing radishes either. Who knows......not me.

The kolarhabi have been great, carrots ok, green peppers and banana peppers eh, holy jalapeños we have a ton! The tomatoes have just now been turning red. We've been eating fried green tomatoes. I was convinced they were never going to turn.  Yellow squash out the ears,  a few zucchini,  we had an early bug problem, and a crap ton of cucumbers.  So many I've been pickling them like crazy. More on that in another post. 

We have also started back to school.....already. which means football 3 days a week and games every sunday and also throw in one day of dance also. So the little time I have is getting even smaller.

I'm also going to be an aunt in late September. My sister in law is having a girl! So last minute, like usual, I threw together an awesome sauce baby changing pouch, bag, carryall, whatever ya call it, for the baby shower. I'll post a tutorial someday......

Thats it for my quick update.
Coming soon:
Recipies for all things I've been pickling/canning.
Baby changing pad.
Fried green tomatoes.
Blanching/freezing yellow squash.
And whatever else I talked about above that I've already forgotten about......
Until next time
