this is the slowest time for quilting for me. my garden has been occupying most of my time.  but what a garden we have this year!!  I am also just about finished hand quilting a friends quilt...so not all is lost..LOL

A few of our cucumbers
Purple beans waiting to be blanched this afternoon...in the freezer now. I have 76 pints done up.
Mustard pickles...made those yesterday along with beets..no pic of those. I forgot them..LOL Also bread and butter pickles...

Our delicious supper...all from the garden!!   Beet greens pickles cucumber and hodge podge.   Ah it was so very good!!
wonderful garden this year...we gave friends and neighbours tons of veggies...it feels good.
Now that I am caught up with garden I can rest a little bit tomorrow...LOL Then the peas and carrots will be ready.  No rest for the wicked, eh...hahaha

  1. I so wish my husband was a gardener but he's just not. I love to can but don't get to do much - I rely on the farmer's market and a few friend's generosity. I've never heard of mustard pickles but they sound wonderful! blessings, marlene

  2. My garden is almost non existent this year but still have a few things. My cucumbers are just getting started. I have some yellow zucchini squash which I'm anxiously waiting for. I can't believe how much you preserved! What a lot of work.
    It is very satisfying though.
