The path to the kitchen garden...
Oh, the memories. Reminds me of my mother's garden back in the day. She would plant her four O'Clocks at each end of her garden and rows & rows of vegetables.
ReplyDeleteMom Always had a Large garden and we also done A lot of canning
I had forgotten about four o'clocks. Our Dad always had them in his garden also. And yes, the canning!! Always when it was too hot to breathe!
DeleteStrawberries and green beans were two things we always canned a lot of.
I've never heard of or thought of canning strawberries! Interesting!
DeleteMost of them went for jam for jelly but when we had surplus we made strawberry sauce and canned it. As I remember it was not real good and then we started freezing them instead.
DeleteA gorgeous garden and look at that wonderful black soil!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Texas and east Georgia I really missed that black Midwestern soil!
DeleteMine never looks like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a slice of heaven! My dad was the gardener in the family and his plots often looked like this...in rocky sandy CT soil that he amended with lots of leaves ...always available in the fall.I remember my mom & sister canning tomatoes too. 😍🍅🌻🌼🌷🌽🥕
