It's been an amazing gardening year thus far.

But I am not sure what to make of the albino squash and cukes. |
Long relatively cool spring with ample rain.
The freezer is full of broccoli, brussel spouts, peas, kohlrabi,
and of course peas.

The pigs really enjoy all the garden scraps |
There is a big 'ole crock of cabbage fermenting into sauerkraut in the cellar...a new experiment for me ...and the canning has begun.
It has all seemed a bit easier this year.

Perhaps it is that I have spent more time in the veggie patches as an escape from the elders when needed.
Perhaps it is simply that I love what I do.
