Salsa


  It isn't just for tortilla chips anymore!
  My dear daughter made salsa as soon as the first tomatoes came on. I am so glad she did! Here's a basic recipe:
Chopped tomato
Onion
Pepper (hot or not)
Pressed garlic
Cilantro or basil 
Garlic salt
Lemon juice or line, about a tablespoon
  When we aren't using it for chips or on tacos, we use the fresh mix of veggies on rice, in pasta salad- we even had it as a side with fish the other night. 
  So you can enjoy your salsa many ways!! Who would've guessed?

It's the season....



  To begin planting! Yes you heard correctly! We're replanting our lettuce beds and are going to do a fourth planting of carrots. 
  Soon soon it will be time to do fall planting! Can you believe it is that time already? As we swelter in this summer heat , we begin thinking ahead to the fall harvest! Before long we will be putting up firewood for the winter!
  I believe in a few days we will begin making blackberry jam, then Lord willing I will be busy as can be putting up tomatoes! 
  The beetles are taxing our green bean harvest which is normally my biggest producer. I hope your garden has none of them!  Enjoy every moment of sunshine and harvest!

A Carrot!

  Ok maybe we need to get out more- but that carrot is a very exciting thing for us! This is the first year we've been able to grow carrots and that is the first real carrot we've gotten! 
  Did you know you can plant carrots all summer and leave them in the ground for winter? We just planted another row of carrots yesterday! Hope you're enjoying your garden!

Happy birthday to us!

  July is a busy month for our family with three birthdays!  What a beautiful job my daughter did on my cake!!!
