The Seniors Harvest Some Veggies




Hi! Today was spent outdoors in perfect July summer weather. First, we weeded and harvested goodies from the veggie garden. Oh, my! What a haul! Two kinds of turnips, tomatoes, dill, broccoli, onions, and beets. Yum!


Cleaning the root veggies was not as much fun as picking them, however!


The afternoon was spent weeding the perennial garden, and transplanting the Moon Flowers that have reseeded themselves in rather odd places (in the cracks of the brick walk, for instance).


Dinner was nothing short of LUSH: we had slow cooked a pork shoulder (in the crock pot) with smoked chipoltle peppers in adobo sauce, and had put our special rub on it, too. We had pulled pork tacos (corn tortillas) with all the fixings, tomatoes from our garden, onion from our garden, and mashed turnips from our garden. YUM!


Now...it is time to relax. Tomorrow or so, I will be doing pickled beets and freezing broccoli.
