It's okay, we are looking pretty darn good in our little 12 x 12 second home. Today I spent a few hours after finishing up some contracts playing around planting more flowers. I am looking forward to creating a garden like back yard. It may take a few years but I am going to enjoy the process. That's part of the beauty of having a home. I planted Dehlia Pom Poms today and sorted through the seeds I have lining them up to get planted. It was a raining day, a great day to spend in the greenhouse.
Our new addition to the family...2021
I'm still thinking of a name...Any suggestions?
It's been a dream for a few years, we finally did it. I have looked at hundred's of green houses. Let me say there are a lot out there. Trying to find something both Brent and I liked and affordable was the challenge. I guess it's much like shopping for a new house. When showing homes to a couple it takes a few showings to find something they both like. I found that same thing in shopping for our greenhouse.My favorite in the garden 2020...💚💚💚💚
(Don’t eat parts of this plant unless you have good advice on how to use them safely. I could not find any resources to help with that.) The plant is safe to handle and doesn’t pose any great danger to children. When picking use some shears and beware they have mean thorns much like roses...
Look for “pumpkin on a stick” in the fall. These offbeat dried eggplants are ideal for dried flower display, and easy to grow in your garden next year. I am doing it again for 2021!!!
Green Pepper Jam
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of green pepper (mixture of any green pepper and jalapeno)
1 1/2 cups of distilled white vinegar & 1 TBSP
6 1/2 cups of sugar
3 ounces of liquid pectin
Directions
In a large pot combine diced green peppers (I dice small) and white vinegar. Bring this to a boil for about 4-5 minutes. I then use a spoon and remove about 3/4 of the peppers.
Add another TBSP of vinegar and your sugar, bring to a boil for 6 minutes stirring constantly.
Stir in liquid pectin and continue for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly, remove pan from the heat, and skim off the foam from the top.
Ladle jelly into sterilized jars, leaving a 1/2 inch space at the top. Seal and process in a hot water bath for 5 minutes.
This jelly has become a family favorite. It goes good on the following, black eye peas, smoked sausages, crackers with cream cheese...
