  Yay! My daughter's rabbit won first place at the NC State fair! So did my canned green beans (Renegade variety)! Our watermelon rind pickles and bread and butter pickles won 3rd overall!

  pulled out all the tomatoes after a late blight knocked them out :( looks like we won't have a lot of green tomatoes for our favorite end of season salsa this year. but, we've had a bumper crop up until then, so i can't complain! we put in cabbage and broccoli. soon as the second set of green beans is done, we'll put in our over-wintering carrots--wonder how that's going to turn out :):)

  Lissakevin, raised beds are the only way to go for me. They don't take up much space and quite a lot can be grown in a 4X8 foot raised bed. I just like the challenge of going vertical with all the plants. I have this idea of multilevel gardening but just haven't figured out a way to make it work .... yet. It appears from your blog that you are quite a bit ahead of us here in Nebraska. My cukes are just barely peaking through the dirt. I'm hoping for a good harvest this year as I am really thinking about having a front patio market for the neighbors. What ever is left from the neighbors, I'll can for the winter soups that I like to make. My grandson devours about a gallon of dill pickles every 10 days so I would like to can as many of those as I can. I'll have to see if I can buy some half gallon canning jars. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
  
  Have a great domestic affairs day.
