Let's see those '09 gardens

This afternoon, put up 5 half-pint jars and 6 pint jars of pickled, sliced jalapenos. In this batch I put a little salt and a little clopped garlic. This probably makes about 30 jars of peppers so far. I opened a jar from 7/5 and it's coming along nicely. Hot as hell, too!

As I commented in Andy's thread, My 5-year old daughter and I ripped up the garden, except for the pepper plants. We planted 6 hills of squash and 9 collards sets. We also planted some Cosmos and Forget-Me-Nots just because she wanted flowers. I'll stop by Lowe's on the way home tomorrow and get a few more flower seed packets just for her. She gave up a trip to the bowling alley with her mom and brother to help me in the garden. I can't tell you how that makes me feel inside. I'll get a picture in a week or two.

It was a great summer of '09. Now we turn the page...

I wish I had a garden. Maybe next year.
